Saka’s goal was sparked by Martinelli’s positivity. The Brazil international dribbled forward from midfield before delicately flicking Merino’s cross into Saka’s path to head in at the back post, and it was not the first time he caused issues for the Fulham backline.

Bukayo Saka made his long-awaited Arsenal return in Tuesday's clash with Fulham and wasted little time in making his mark. It was 101 days since the "Starboy" had last turned out for Mikel Arteta's side before a hamstring problem sidelined him for large parts of the campaign.
