LONDON (Reuters) - The key improvement in Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka this season is a sharpened competitive edge to win, his manager Mikel Arteta said on Saturday after their 3-0 home victory over Bournemouth.

Arsenal cleared another hurdle in their Premier League title quest and kept the pressure firmly on Manchester City as Saka's penalty just before halftime took his league tally to 16 goals, four ahead of their next highest scorer Kai Havertz.
