Bukayo Saka delivered a stellar performance on Wednesday, scoring twice to lead Arsenal to a commanding 3-0 victory over Monaco at the Emirates Stadium. The win puts the Gunners closer to securing a spot in the Champions League Round of 16, with the team now sitting third in the league phase with two games left.
The 23-year-old winger’s clinical display took his tally to five goals in six games across all competitions, along with nine for the season and numerous assists. Manager Mikel Arteta lauded Saka’s “incredible talent,” praising his maturity, leadership, and consistency.
“He’s a special player. His evolution in the game at such a young age is remarkable. He makes the difference on the pitch,” Arteta said.
While Arsenal missed early chances and faced pressure from Monaco, Saka’s late first-half goal set the tone before his second sealed the game. A third from Kai Havertz wrapped up the night for Arteta’s side.
Arsenal, enjoying strong form with five wins in their last six games, are positioning themselves as serious contenders for European glory this season.
