Bukayo Saka is a footballer of many qualities and in recent months he has added another to his repertoire: leadership. At the age of 23, Saka is no longer the polite academy graduate who sparkles on the wing.

Southampton ’s joy in Cameron Archer giving them a shock lead only served to awaken Arsenal, who went from a very flat display to one where they came at the visiting side from all angles. That eventually resulted in a rousing 3-1 win, although one that was more difficult than it might have been.

Arsenal bounced back from conceding a goal to lowly Southampton to win 3-1 after a pulsating second half in their Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with winger Bukayo Saka instrumental in the Gunners' victory.
