ALAN SHEARER NAMES THE ONE PLAYER ARSENAL CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE FOLLOWING LIVERPOOL DRAW
Alan Shearer believes Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s standout performance in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool underscores how much the team has missed the winger. Saka, who was sidelined due to an injury picked up during international duty, had been absent from Arsenal’s previous two matches against Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk.
However, Saka’s return to the starting lineup on Sunday provided Arsenal with a much-needed lift in their Premier League title race. The 23-year-old made an immediate impact, scoring his third goal of the season with a powerful finish past Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher. Throughout the game, Saka also posed a consistent threat to Andy Robertson down the left flank.
