LONDON April 2, 2025: Bukayo Saka made a triumphant return after over three months, scoring as a substitute in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Fulham, closing the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to nine points.
- Saka entered in the 66th minute to cheers and scored just seven minutes later, securing the second goal for Arsenal after Mikel Merino’s 37th-minute opener.
- Despite Fulham’s stoppage-time goal by Rodrigo Muniz, Arsenal remained in second place, needing a Liverpool collapse to win the title.
- Saka’s return comes ahead of Arsenal's Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid, although Gabriel Magalhães may be doubtful after a hamstring injury.
- Wolverhampton beat West Ham 1-0, distancing themselves from relegation danger, and Nottingham Forest hosted Manchester United later that night.
