Saka shines again with a stellar performance in Arsenal’s victory

Bukayo Saka continues to cement his reputation as one of the world’s finest attackers, delivering a masterclass in Arsenal’s 3-0 Champions League win over Monaco.

The 23-year-old scored twice and assisted a third, guiding Arsenal to the brink of a knockout stage spot.

Saka’s first goal showcased his instinctive finishing, capitalising on precise work from 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, making his Champions League debut.

His second came late in the game, punishing a sloppy pass from Monaco’s goalkeeper, Radoslaw Majecki, to put the result beyond doubt. Minutes later, Saka’s drive set up Kai Havertz, whose deflected effort sealed an emphatic victory.

The numbers behind Saka’s season highlight his meteoric rise. With nine goals and 12 assists in 21 matches across all competitions, he is on track for a career-best campaign.

Only Mohamed Salah has contributed to more goals among Premier League players this season.

Last year, Saka managed 20 goals and 14 assists, and his trajectory shows no sign of slowing down.

Saka’s Champions League stats are equally impressive. Since debuting in Europe as a 17-year-old in 2018, he has become a dominant force in the competition.
