Arsenal expert Charles Watts compares Bukayo Saka’s goal against Fulham to Thierry Henry’s memorable strike against Leeds United in 2012.
Saka scored the pivotal goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Fulham, just seven minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Saka’s Impact on the Game
Saka’s goal was a testament to his skill and importance to the team.
Watts praised Saka’s celebration, saying it summed up his character and the fans’ love for him.

The goal was also a result of excellent teamwork, with Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino contributing to the play.
Martinelli’s Impressive Performance
Martinelli was electric throughout the game, creating chances and completing successful dribbles.
Watts highlighted Martinelli’s intent and skill, saying he’s a quality winger who can make a difference.
Arsenal’s Attacking Prospects
With Saka and Martinelli back from injury, Arsenal’s attack looks more promising.
Watts believes the team needs to score goals to have a chance against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Injury Concerns
Despite the attacking success, Arsenal suffered defensive injury blows, with Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Jurrien Timber all picking up knocks.
Gabriel’s season-ending hamstring injury is a significant blow ahead of the Real Madrid tie.
