Arsenal, /

Wing-Backs

Combined well with Nketiah in getting forward and joining the attack. Certainly the better of both wingbacks. Has surprising speed and athleticism and defends with the tenacity of a fullback while attacking with the precision of a wingback. He was good here, as good as he’s been all season.. RWB. Arsenal. CEDRIC SOARES. 6.2

5.9. Great to see him getting involved in the attack again. He and Cedric were key early on in blazing down the wide angles and making this Villa defense stretch to keep up, but when Villa started to push back, Saka began to struggle. He’s just not as good near our goal as he is near the opposing goal. When he finally got a chance on goal, he snapped at it and fluffed his lines.. LWB. Arsenal. BUKAYO SAKA
