Palace threatened to get back into the game when Jeffrey Schlupp scored from a corner but Saka’s smartly taken second ensured a comfortable winning margin from an excellent performance.
Former Chelsea and Aston Villa player Andy Townsend was full of admiration for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka following his impressive performance for the Gunners this season.
This comes in the wake of Saka’s impressive display in the London derby against Crystal Palace over the weekend. The winger bagged a brace and registered an assist as Arsenal secured a comfortable 4-1 win over Palace.
The 21-year-old England international has been one of the standout players in Mikel Arteta’s team as they are currently on course to lift what would be a historic league title.
Saka has the most goal contributions for the Gunners in the ongoing 2022-23 football campaign. He has so far registered a combined total of 13 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season.
12 of those goals have come in the Premier League. He has also joined the list of players who have registered 10+ goals and assists in a single league campaign for the Gunners.
Meanwhile, former Blues star Townsend has gone on to label Saka a “good player.” He further went on to claim that the 21-year-old winger has always made a difference anytime he goes to watch an Arsenal game.
In his words:
“He is some player, that boy, isn’t he? Every time I go and watch him play, he makes the difference, he sets them up, he assists, and he works unbelievably hard for the team. He’s such a good player.”
It’s left to be seen whether Saka would be able to keep up his stunning display for Arsenal for the remainder of the 2022-23 football campaign.
