Football: Mixed News For Arsenal One Week Away From Real Madrid Clash
UEFA Champions League: There was good and bad news for Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta just a week away from his side's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg at home to Real Madrid. The good news was the return of England winger Bukayo Saka after suffering a hamstring injury in December last year. The 23-year-old came on as a 66th-minute substitute in Tuesday's 2-1 win at home to Fulham and needed just seven minutes before netting Arsenal's second goal of the night.
Saka's importance to Arsenal cannot be underestimated, with the stats showing that in the 16 Premier League games before his injury, Arsenal averaged 2.1 goals every game, while that average dropped sharply to just 1.5 per match since, reports Xinhua.
Arteta described Saka's goal as a "beautiful moment," adding that it was easy to see "how much our people love, respect and admire Bukayo."
