“I’m on my feet clapping for him since, he was simply amazing and remarkable in yesterday’s Arsenal win”- Arsenal icon Patrick Vierra confessed he couldn’t resist stopping applauding sensational Arsenal star after what he saw in him yesterday. Player Not Jorginho, Kiwior, or Havertz.
Arsenal rebounded from their midweek Champions League defeat to Porto with a dominant performance against a lackluster Newcastle United at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
Despite his disappointment in Newcastle’s display, Alan Shearer acknowledged the formidable Arsenal squad, singling out Bukayo Saka, who netted his fifth consecutive goal, elevating his season tally to 13. Shearer praised Saka as a ‘great’ player, emphasizing his impact on the game, including a ‘very clever’ goal showcasing exceptional skill within the penalty area.
Newcastle struggled to match the energy established by Arsenal, starting the game as if they had been inactive for the past ten days. Eddie Howe’s men couldn’t keep pace, allowing Arsenal to score four goals, asserting their presence in the Premier League title race.
Reflecting on the match, Shearer observed that once Arsenal secured the third goal, it became a matter of how many more they would score. He commended Arsenal’s smooth passing and couldn’t help but appreciate Saka’s fantastic finish, despite the challenges he posed to Newcastle.
Arsenal’s robust scoring rate is crucial in the tightly contested Premier League race, with the London club currently holding the best goal difference. Only two points separate them from league leaders Liverpool, highlighting the significance of every goal.
As the competition intensifies, any slight misstep, as seen with Manchester City against Chelsea last week, could prove costly. Arsenal finds themselves in a position to strengthen their title credentials, facing Liverpool and Arsenal in their next six league games, a critical period where destiny hangs in the balance.
