Arsenal fans react to Bukayo Saka’s Europa League display vs Benfica

A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter were delighted with Bukayo Saka’s performance against Benfica in the Europa League last night.

The north London side went into the second leg of the last 32 with a 1-1 aggregate score and they opened the scoring in the 21st minute through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after an incisive pass from Saka.

Right before the interval, the Portuguese side pulled level on the night after Diogo Goncalves scored with a stunning free-kick which nullified the Gunners’ away-goal advantage.

At the hour mark, Jorge Jesus’ side went ahead through Rafa Silva following a defensive blunder from Dani Ceballos, who gifted possession with a poor attempt to head the ball back to Bernd Leno.
