Arsenal goal hero Bukayo Saka says new coach Mikel Arteta is bringing back the Arsene Wenger way of playing.
A young Gunners side dominated possession in Monday night’s 2-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Bournemouth, Saka scoring the opener after five minutes before Eddie Nketiah made it 2-1 before the half-hour mark.

And Saka says: “Mikel’s trying to bring back the philosophy, the Arsenal passing way and I feel like we played really good football in the first half.”
Meanwhile, defender Shkodran Mustafi was stretchered off with an ankle injury, reigniting the possibility of signing centreback Pablo Mari, following the breakdown of the £7.5m move after the player’s medical this weekend.
