Bukayo Saka made a dream return to the pitch as he scored Arsenal ’s second goal in a 2-1 win over Fulham, following three months out with a hamstring injury. Saka was introduced in the 66th minute, by which time the Gunners lead through Mikel Merino ’s deflected first-half strike.

Saka’s goal was sparked by Martinelli’s positivity. The Brazil international dribbled forward from midfield before delicately flicking Merino’s cross into Saka’s path to head in at the back post, and it was not the first time he caused issues for the Fulham backline.
