Arsenal legend applauds Chukwueze
Former Arsenal striker, Alan Smith commended Samuel Chukwueze for his decisive impact in Fulham’s 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Friday night.
Chukwueze, who joined Fulham in the summer, made an immediate impression after being introduced in the 67th minute for Josh King. Within three minutes of his arrival, the Nigeria international delivered a precise through ball to Ryan Sessegnon, who lifted his effort over goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic to hand Fulham the lead.
During Sky Sports commentary, Smith noted the quality of Chukwueze’s contribution, describing it as a moment that underlined the difference substitutes can make in a closely contested match.
He pointed out the winger’s vision and execution, as well as Sessegnon’s composed finish that capped off a devastating attacking move.
