Arsenal legend Ian Wright heaped praise on Bukayo Saka after his fantastic performance in the 3-2 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The England international has not been in the best of form in recent weeks, but he stepped up to the occasion with a goal and an assist for the Gunners.
Saka’s corner in the 15th minute contributed to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s own goal before he scored his own with a lovely counter-attack in the 27th minute.
The Gunners graduate was put through on goal with a lovely pass from Kai Havertz and he managed to wrong foot Ben Davies before slotting a low shot past the goalkeeper.
Speaking after the game, Wright was delighted with the 22-year-old’s display, he told Premier League productions: “He was a massive part today. I knew it would be tough for Ben Davies.”
“We’re talking about a player who knows what the derby means. I was really pleased with how in control they was. Especially when Tottenham got back in the game. They stayed really calm.”
