“A Complete Display”: Gary Neville Wowed by “Outstanding” Arsenal Player vs West Ham Tonight
Arsenal secured a dominant victory against West Ham, climbing to second place and increasing the pressure on Liverpool ahead of their clash with Manchester City.
The Gunners delivered a stunning first-half performance, scoring all five of their goals before the break. The opening 45 minutes were exceptionally intense, with seven goals exchanged at the London Stadium.
Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz were among the standout players for Arsenal, both contributing significantly to the scoring efforts.
Saka, in particular, continued to cement his status as one of Europe’s elite playmakers. He became the first player in Europe’s top five leagues this season to register ten assists, a remarkable milestone.
Commenting on Saka’s performance, Gary Neville praised the young star, highlighting his exceptional talent displayed during the match against West Ham.
Gary Neville Praises Bukayo Saka as Arsenal Hammer West Ham
Speaking about Saka on Sky Sports and awarding the England man the player of the match, Neville lauded Saka’s performance as the ‘complete display’.
“Saka is an outstanding player and he is definitely tonight’s player of the match – precision with his set-piece delivery and he scored, a complete display,” Neville said.
This season, the league has already witnessed key players sidelined by injuries. Rodri’s absence has been a significant blow for Manchester City, while Martin Odegaard’s unavailability has greatly impacted Arsenal.
Bukayo Saka deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as these pivotal players.
If Saka were to sustain an injury and be unavailable for a stretch, Arsenal would undoubtedly feel the effects.
His contributions, both in terms of goals and assists, are irreplaceable. Beyond that, his ability to constantly challenge defenders and create opportunities for his teammates makes him indispensable.
Mikel Arteta will undoubtedly hope his squad can maintain their fitness after enduring a challenging spell with injuries.
