Saka celebrates comeback: Arsenal wins 2-1 against Fulham!

London, England - On April 1, 2025, Arsenal celebrated an important 2-1 win against Fulham as part of the 30th round of the Premier League. This match was particularly important because Bukayo Saka celebrated his comeback after more than three months of injury -related break and contributed directly to success.

Arsenal started the game strongly, especially through the impressive actions by Gabriel Martinelli. In the 21st minute, Ethan Nwaneri had the first great opportunity when he tested the Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno with a volley. Arsenal's pressure finally paid off in the 37th minute when Mikel Merino, after a pass from Nwaneri, scored the first goal for the Gunners. His shot was deflected, but still found its way into the net.
