Kevin Campbell lauded Bukayo Saka and stated ‘this man is so impressive’ after Arsenal thrashed Sean Dyche’s Everton 4-0 on Wednesday night at the Emirates.
The Hale-End star opened the scoring with a brilliant right-footed finish at Jordan Pickford’s near-post after Everton duo Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko failed to pick up the quick-thinking 21-year-old.
That strike opened the door for Mikel Arteta’s men to add a second not long after through Gabriel Martinelli, who was on the scoresheet again in the second half alongside his consistent captain, Martin Odegaard.
It wasn’t so long ago that these very same Arsenal players, in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge of Everton, were leaving Goodison Park in a morale-sapped mood after suffering a deserved 1-0 defeat.
At the time, many started questioning the Premier League leaders and their title credentials, but they have performed like champions-elect since then.
And one man that has been leading their charge is the star boy Saka, who was at it again, which was touched upon by Kevin Campbell, as he told Premier League Productions (01/03/23 at 10:15 pm).
“The key is the first goal,” said Campbell. “You have got to get the opportunity. You have got to put it away.
“And Bukayo Saka, this man is so impressive, the way he puts it away. He scored a similar goal against Leeds. That really did unlock Everton.”
SAKA ONE OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE’S BEST
There aren’t many forward players who are in better form than Saka because he is having another outstanding season.
From that fresh-faced teenager that was handed his debut by Unai Emery to the maturing England international who is now taking the Premier League by storm.
That’s ten goals in the league for Saka and there’s no reason why he can’t get close to the 20-mark by the time the season is out.
