Bukayo Saka has once again proven just how valuable he is to Arsenal after his fierce inswinging corner caused chaos in the Chelsea box, allowing Gabriel to rifle home the match winner in their 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Saka's contribution made it six assists for the season, adding to his four goals, as Mikel Arteta's side went back to the top of the Premier League table.
The London derby victory made it 11 wins out of 13 Premier League games so far this season and clean sheet number six saw Arteta's men leapfrog Manchester City and head back to the summit.

With the Gunners defensive unit compact and composed, it allowed for those in attacking positions to express themselves despite Chelsea's quick pressing, with Gabriel Jesus causing plenty of issues for the Blues defence by drifting out wide on the left, allowing Martinelli to roam freely.
Saka was also a constant thorn in the side of Marc Cucurella, ensuring his start to life at Chelsea continues to be disappointing and he was able to play a significant role in the Arsenal goal, whipping in a seemingly under-hit corner that travelled through a sea of bodies before arriving at the feet of Gabriel, who poked the ball into the roof of the net.
Arsenal then produced an extremely professional final 30 minutes as they limited Chelsea to minimal chances while still controlling possession and creating opportunities to score again themselves, with Saka himself blazing one over after a cross fell at his feet.
After the game, Saka shared a superb photo on social media of the Arsenal team celebrating their goal, with the caption 'I love this team' perfectly framing himself, Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus and goal scorer Gabriel all celebrating while running towards the away end.
