  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Arsenal were dealt a major blow as Saka suffered an apparent hamstring injury in the 23rd minute of their clash against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The England international went down on the ground clutching his hamstring before limping off the pitch as Leandro Trossard replaced him.

  • WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    Arsenal fans were left devastated, with many of them lamenting that the season might be over after their star player's departure.

    An X handle named @_vx_24 wrote: "Saka hammy? Title race over for us."

    @AFCAMDEN wrote: "Saka did his hamstring playing for England back in October, tweaked it again vs Chelsea and looks to have done it properly now. Big, big problem for us.."

    @SemperFiArsenal was devasted, writing: "Jesus just regained his form and Saka gets injured. Why can’t we have nice things."

    A fan named @_Zeets wrote: "Saka being injured is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, personally."

    @FeroAFC added: "We are not going to win the league and now we lost Saka for at least a month where we have multiple games. My joy is just gone. The worst Christmas in years."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ismaila Sarr had momentarily brought the Eagles back in the game with an 11th-minute strike, but Kai Havertz netted a third to extend his team's lead before the break. According to Opta, Jesus' second goal of the match was the north London club's 50th goal from a corner since set-piece coach Nicolas Jover joined Mikel Arteta's coaching staff in 2021. During this period, no other club have scored more goals from corners than the Gunners.
