Bukayo Saka details Mikel Arteta change that made “real difference” to Arsenal

Bukayo Saka has explained how Eddie Nketiah has made a “huge difference for Arsenal after the Gunners came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 on Saturday.

Nketiah was the main winner from the match as his introduction just after the hour mark helped turn the tide in the game, with Mikel Arteta’s side trailing 1-0 – they swiftly found an equalising goal while their relentless pressure brought a late winner.

Serbian forward Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring early into the second-half as he robbed the ball from Gabriel Magalhaes and coolly slottted home past Aaron Ramsdale. Captain Martin Odegaard was on hand though to equalise with a defelcted effort with half an hour still to play. However, chances were not forthcoming until Gabriel prodded home a late winner to ensure his side's winning run to the season continued.
