During Saturday's 3-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta couldn't help but sing the praises of four of his star players. Arteta was pleased with the team's performance, which included a clean sheet against a strong Bournemouth side, and he had a special mention for Bukayo Saka.
Saka, who scored his 20th goal of the season for Arsenal, became the first Englishman to do so since Theo Walcott in the 2012-13 campaign. Arteta was impressed with Saka's consistency and noted that he has a newfound edge to his game, showing a real hunger for victory.
But Saka wasn't the only one who caught Arteta's eye. He also had high praise for midfielder duo Thomas Partey and Declan Rice, as well as team-mate Kai Havertz, who lauded Saka's performance. Arteta highlighted Partey's presence in the midfield and how it has elevated the team's performance, while also acknowledging Havertz's outstanding contribution during the match.
In light of Manchester City's strong title race, Arteta joked that he might even wear Wolves "pyjamas" while watching their game against City, in the hopes of them dropping points. But unfortunately for Arsenal, City ended up with a 3-0 lead at halftime, thanks to an impressive hat-trick by Erling Haaland.
Despite the loss, Arsenal is not giving up on their title hopes and will continue to fight for every point. Arteta expressed his belief that the team will only perform at such a high level if every player is exceptional, as was the case with Rice, Havertz, and Saka during their match against Bournemouth.
As the team continues to push for success, Arsenal fans can expect more exciting performances from Saka and his fellow stars, as they work towards a strong finish to the season. And with Arteta at the helm, the future looks bright for the Gunners.
