Bukayo Saka is starting where he left off.
Following an excellent 2022-23 campaign for club and country, the English winger doubled Arsenal's lead in their Premier League season opener on Saturday with an unstoppable curling effort into the top corner.
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner, who was Saka's teammate at the Emirates Stadium last season, had no chance.
Saka's stupendous hit proved to be the winner as Arsenal won 2-1.
