Arsenal fans react as Saka lights up Standard Liege clash

Arsenal appeared to be set for an embarrassing defeat to Standard Liege until Bukayo Saka stole the show. 

The exciting winger got himself a goal and an assist as the Gunners overturned a 2-0 deficit to claim a point in Belgium, which saw them top their Europa League group. 

Saka put the ball on a plate for Alexandre Lacazette before impressively slotting home a goal of his own just minutes later.

These Arsenal fans gushed at the youngster’s moments of brilliance in Thursday evening’s clash…

Read Arsenal’s verdict

Plenty of the young Gunners have been given chances to prove their worth on the senior stage already this season, but few have impressed more than Saka. 

The dynamic wide man has looked confident, composed and dangerous whenever he has played, and Freddie Ljungberg’s side’s blushes were spared by the youngster’s excellent performance against Standard Liege. 

Perhaps he has provided the boss with some food for thought ahead of the clash with Manchester City this weekend…
