As the clock ticked down on Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Ipswich Town, David Raya received a backpass just outside his penalty area, dribbled back into the box, hovered over the ball and gathered it up, using up precious seconds.

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka is set to be sidelined for more than two months after an operation on a hamstring injury, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that he expects Bukayo Sako to be out of action until March after the England winger underwent surgery on his torn hamstring. The Spanish coach had previously said he expected Saka would be sidelined for “many weeks” after picking up the injury during Arsenal's 5-1 win against Crystal Palace last weekend.
