The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Arsenal, with goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka securing the win. Merino opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a deflected strike, showcasing his fine form as a makeshift striker. Saka, introduced as a substitute in the 66th minute, wasted no time making an impact. Just seven minutes later, he nodded home a header from Gabriel Martinelli's flick, doubling Arsenal's lead and sending the Emirates crowd into raptures. Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz managed to pull one back in stoppage time, but Arsenal held on to claim all three points.
Saka's return was a moment of joy for Arsenal fans, who greeted him with a thunderous ovation. The England international expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt message, saying, "I have to acknowledge and thank you all for the energy and love you showed me last night. I've never seen or felt anything like what I felt at the Emirates last night. I will never forget that."
This victory not only marked Saka's successful comeback but also provided a much-needed boost for Arsenal as they continue their pursuit of Premier League glory and prepare for their upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. With Saka back in action, Arsenal fans have every reason to be optimistic about the team's prospects in the crucial weeks ahead.
