'Saka was upset with me, but he's amazing'

Bukayo Saka emerged from Thursday night's draw in Liege with a proud stat to his name: he has assisted six times this season, twice more than any Arsenal teammate.

Those contributions have been largely confined to the Europa League and Carabao Cup, but there's no doubting the quality of this precocious 18 year old. His cross for Alex Lacazette was whipped in at such pace and with such accuracy that our captain on the night just had to put his head on the ball.

Saka's equaliser - a composed finish after a one-two with Gabriel Martinelli - gave us a glimpse of the future as well as the present.
