Saka, who opened the scoring after converting a penalty that goalkeeper Mark Travers committed against Kai Havertz into a goal, starred in one of the outstanding plays of the day at the Emirates and it was not precisely because of his goal. But 10 minutes into the game he suffered a brutal kick from the Scotsman Ryan Christie at the level of the tibia of his left leg that could have seriously injured him. Strikingly, referee David Coote did not even caution him nor did the VAR call him to review an action that was a red card.
Saka left the field with gestures of great pain, but he managed to recover and was one of the most outstanding footballers. He reached 20 goals this season in all competitions, 16 of them in the Premier League – he is 5 behind Haaland, the top scorer – and is one of the winning cards in Arsenal’s offensive, which took a well-deserved victory for keep dreaming.
