Mikel Arteta delighted with Saka and Smith Rowe after Arsenal’s win over Slavia Prague

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was delighted with the impact from Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe in the club’s stunning 4-0 Europa League win over Slavia Prague last night.

The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, and they needed to score at least once in Prague to stay in the competition.

Saka was poor with his finishing at the Emirates Stadium last week, but made amends with an impressive all-round attacking display for the Gunners.

His curled shot in the 15th minute was impressively saved by the goalkeeper, but few minutes later, he won the penalty for the club’s second goal.
