Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger says Bukayo Saka's penalty miss at Euro 2020 was 'GREAT for his career' after the England star played a key part in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Watford

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta claimed Bukayo Saka's penalty miss at Euro 2020 was 'great for his career' after the England international scored one goal and set up another in the 3-2 win at Watford.

Saka provided the assist for Martin Odegaard's early opener at Vicarage Road, which was soon cancelled out by Cucho Hernandez's overhead-kick.

The Arsenal academy graduate then restored his side's advantage after a well-worked one-two with Alexandre Lacazette, before Gabriel Martinelli added a third.

The Gunners looked to be cruising before Moussa Sissoko pulled a goal back in the 87th minute, but the Hornets were unable to find an equaliser.
