Mikel Arteta feels Bukayo Saka fully merited a night to remember as he marked the end of his 101-day absence by scoring the winner to beat Fulham 2-1.
The winger nodded home a great Gabriel Martinelli flick within seven minutes of coming off the bench to put us 2-0 ahead against the Cottagers, and put three months of hard graft and rehab behind him during a difficult period for the winger.
The boss was thrilled with his contribution and is delighted to have him back in the fold, especially as he challenged Bukayo to hit the ground running with us still fighting for Premier League points and dreaming of further progress in the Champions League in the season’s final straight.
