Arsenal star Bukayo Saka continued to show his superstar ability on Sunday as he scored a wonder strike against Manchester United on Sunday. The Englishman gave his side the lead for the first time in the game in a feisty and chaotic fixture between the two old rivals.
The clash was something of a throwback between the Gunners and United from their top-of-the-table rivalry, with both playing out a top-quality encounter. Marcus Rashford kickstarted the tie, scoring a long-range effort of his own after winning the ball high up from the home side.
Eddie Nketiah shortly pegged them back, arriving at the back post to nod home an effort to level the game up once again. The second half played out similar to the opening 45 minutes, with Saka then picking up the ball on the right, cutting inside and curling an effort from range with his left foot.

It was a huge moment for the home side, taking the quality of the game a step further with his strike. The match also saw Saka complete a challenge set to him by Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves before the clash even started, with a potential record on the line.
The 21-year-old scored in his previous two fixtures against Manchester United, with only Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg managing three on the bounce. Shreeves set the challenge of making that three beforehand, to which Saka responded: "Challenge accepted. It will be a pleasure to be in the company of those two elite players so I hope I can do it."
He not only beat that challenge, but did it with an emphatic effort that even the other two who managed that record would have been proud of.
