Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka are two of Arsenal’s most important players in attack.

The Gunners have missed the two Englishmen due to injury at different stages of the season, but they are now both back.

Eze scored the winner against Newcastle United on Saturday, while Saka came on as a substitute in the second half and looked sharp as well.

The two players were involved in training on Tuesday ahead of the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, and Saka seemed to get the better of Eze.

If Eberechi Eze’s goal vs Newcastle isn’t Goal of the Season, what is?

What a strike…

Eberechi Eze in ‘total shock’ after Bukayo Saka’s defending against him

Eberechi Eze is one of the best dribblers in Arsenal’s squad.

The Englishman may not be as flashy as Noni Madueke is, but he has the rare ability of gliding past players like they aren’t even there.

At the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Tuesday, Arsenal fans were glad to see Eze involved after his injury scare against Newcastle.

The former Crystal Palace man decided to attempt a take-on against Bukayo Saka, but the Arsenal number seven’s defending made it impossible to get past him.

Eze was then seen sitting on the floor in disbelief, with his hand over his face. He could then be seen laughing at his attempt.

Conor Humm posted a video on X and said: “Eberechi Eze tried to dribble past Bukayo Saka but couldn’t get past him and was left in total shock.”

Saka played several games as a left-back for Arsenal and England over the years, so he knows how to deal with a dribbler.

Eze found that out in training on Tuesday.

Is Bukayo Saka’s return from injury going to be the difference between winning and losing the Premier League title?

Arsenal need Bukayo Saka back starting games

Arsenal have really missed Saka in recent weeks.

The England international is one of the best wingers in the world, and the consistent attacking output he provides every time he plays is irreplaceable.

To add to that, Saka offers so much in defence for Arsenal. He tracks back, helps the full-back deal with tricky wingers and is rarely ever beaten.

Against Manchester City, Gabriel Martinelli made a mistake in Saka’s position, and that cost the Gunners big time.

With Saka now back and looking sharp, we don’t expect that to happen in the coming games.
