“It is only those who don’t understand football that doesn’t like him because it’s hard not to like this guy”- Premier League Legend Alan Shearer says ‘very clever’ Arsenal star was actually the one that helped Arsenal trash Newcastle United over the weekend but he’s not well recognised- Not Jorginho, Not Kiwior and not Declan Rice
“It is only those who don’t understand football that doesn’t like him because it’s hard not to like this guy”- Premier League Legend Alan Shearer says ‘very clever’ Arsenal star was actually the one that helped Arsenal trash Newcastle United over the weekend but he’s not well recognised- Not Jorginho, Not Kiwior and not Declan Rice
ALAN SHEARER ADMITS A ‘VERY CLEVER’ ARSENAL PLAYER RUINED NEWCASTLE UNITED
This is how Arsenal’s players reacted to the Champions League loss to Porto in midweek, as they defeated a pitiful Newcastle United at the Emirates on Saturday night.
Alan Shearer must have been scathing about Newcastle’s performance, but he couldn’t help but admire the performance of his opponents, particularly one Bukay Sako.
The 22-year-old scored for the fifth consecutive game in the Premier League, taking his tally for Arsenal to 13 goals this season, and Alan Shearer hailed him as a “brilliant” player, as he told Premier League Productions (24/02/24 22:05).
The Premier League’s all-time top scorer has admitted that Bukayo Saka caused Newcastle all sorts of problems, including scoring a “very clever” goal after showing great skill inside the penalty area.
Many wondered if Arsenal would have a hangover after the Champions League loss or even feel mentally tired.
But that was far from the case as they started the match as if they had been out for the last 10 days and Eddie Howe’s men simply couldn’t handle the intensity the opponents put up.
In the end, Arsenal scored more than 4 Premier League goals yet again and reminded the world that they are going nowhere in the Premier League title race.
Is Bukayo Saka world class?
“When they got the third, it was just a question of how many they would get or wanted to get,” Shearer said.
“Arsenal were skilful. It’s hard not to like the guy then, even though he caused terrible embarrassment for Newcastle. It’s a brilliant finish. He’s so likeable, Saka. He works so hard. Great skill and a very, very clever finish. He’s a fantastic player.”
Arsenal increase their chances of winning the Premier League title
Considering how tight it is at the top, the huge amount of goals Arsenal are scoring is proving to be very, very important right now.
Of the three, the London club has the better goal difference and is two points ahead of leaders Liverpool.
It’s all about who blinks first, where every little mistake can prove valuable, as Manchester City learnt last week against Chelsea.
Their fate was in their own hands, but now they must take the harder road, as Liverpool and Arsenal await them in their next six league games.
That could determine how the title race goes, because if Pep Guardiola’s men win the most points, they could become English champions again.
