The winger doubled Arsenal’s advantage to 2-0 amidst a joyous away crowd at the City Ground. However, the Gunners faced tense moments as they resisted a late surge from the home team, ultimately securing three points to the delight of their supporters.

Amidst the celebrations, a young fan holding a sign declaring ‘My name is Saka’ caught the attention of the England star, prompting him to graciously offer his jersey.

Both individuals named Saka will surely be thrilled by Arsenal’s triumph at a venue that has been challenging for visiting teams in recent years. Nottingham Forest, then in the Championship, eliminated Mikel Arteta’s side from the FA Cup two years ago and dashed their title aspirations when they clashed in the Premier League in May 2023.

Arsenal supporters and players will be closely monitoring tonight’s matches, hoping for slip-ups from title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City. They anticipate an opportunity to seize control themselves on Sunday, as Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour brings Liverpool to the Emirates.
