'Best in the business': TalkSPORT pundit says one Arsenal player is truly 'impossible to defend' against
Today at 02:15 AM
Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners over Southampton on Saturday to keep them firmly in Premier League title contention going into the October international break.
The Gunners initially struggled to break the Saints defence down and were made to pay for it as Cameron Archer broke the deadlock for the visitors on 55 minutes.
However, Arsenal didn’t need long to restore parity, Kai Havertz continuing his record of scoring in every game at the Emirates Stadium this season with a 58th-minute goal.
Gabriel Martinelli then put the Gunners in the lead 10 minutes later, before Bukayo Saka wrapped up the scoring for Mikel Arteta’s side in the 88th minute.
Saka played a part in all three goals, assisting Havertz and Martinelli for their efforts before getting on the scoresheet himself.
TalkSPORT pundit Jason Cundy spoke about the Arsenal star after the game, discussing the one thing he does that makes him the “best in the business”.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka can cross the ball like no other
Cundy claimed on talkSPORT (5/10/2024, 5:14pm) that nobody in the game can cross the ball from the right flank to the far post as well as Saka can.
The former Chelsea man noted how Saka did something similar in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea last year, and also said he once again got Arsenal “out of jail”.
Cundy said: "I think Saka on that right-hand side, I don't think there's a better crosser of the ball from that ball to the far post.
“He did exactly the same thing against Chelsea last year, Trossard scored. We drew 2-2 with them.
“It's impossible to defend if you get a late runner and you stay onside. You arrive at the far post.
“He is the best in the business. He has a wand of a left foot. And he gets them out of jail and they go on to win again.”
