Arsenal player ratings vs Fulham: Bukayo Saka's back! 'Starboy' shines brightest in Viktor Gyokeres' best game for the Gunners as Premier League leaders go six points clear
Saka's Stellar Performance
Bukayo Saka marked his first Premier League start since March with a goal and an assist as Arsenal routed Fulham 3-0 at the Emirates on Saturday evening to go six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
Gyokeres and Saka's Deadly Combination

Indeed, Saka tormented Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson during a fantastic first-half performance in which he left Viktor Gyokeres with a tap-in after sensationally sitting down Raul Jimenez on the right wing - before doubling Arsenal's advantage with a terrific near-post finish after being put in on goal by his Swedish team-mate.
