Long injured this season with Arsenal, Bukayo Saka resumed at the right time before the quarter -final of the Arsenal Champions League against Real Madrid. The Gunners won twice against the Merengues (3-0, 1-2) and will thus challenge PSG in the last square of the C1, on April 29 at the Emirates Stadium and on May 7 at the Parc des Princes.

Saka is often untenable on its right wing and has made the difference again by the origin of the first two Arsenal goals on the ground of Ipswich, the first relegation, for a 4-0 victory, Sunday in the Premier League. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring (14th) before a second goal signed Gabriel Martinelli following a deviation from Mikel Merino on a center of Bukayo Saka (28th).

A few moments later, Leif Davis, the defender of the Tractor Boys, was excluded for a violent sole on Saka's right heel (32nd). The 23 -year -old English crack suffered a lot but resumed the game. He also returned for the second period before being replaced in the 57th minute. On the bench, a member of the medical staff then frozen his bruised ankle in the first period.

Saka replaced, trossard author of a double

Arsenal then took off with a second goal signed Leandro Trossard (69th) then a last achievement by Ethan Nwaneri, who had replaced Saka (88th). William Saliba and his teammates consolidate their second place in the ranking by taking seven points ahead of Newcastle and also delay the coronation of Liverpool (which is 10 lengths in advance before facing Leicester). They can focus on the first confrontation with the Parisians in nine days.

Ipswich Town, the promoted supported by Ed Sheeran (minority shareholder and jersey sponsor), is almost sentenced to championship relegation by counting 15 points behind West Ham, the first non -relegation, five days from the end.
