SAKA JUST TWO GOOD

THIS is rapidly turning into Bukayo Saka's most important season for Arsenal.

Two more goals for Arsenal's No.7 saw off Monaco and pushed Mikel Arteta's men towards a top-eight finish in the Champions League.

And while all the talk has been about Arsenal's injury list, the one player who they really would be lost without is Saka.

And this time they did not even need a set-piece. It was a night when the Gunners missed chance after chance, they were sloppy at times and their final ball was so often misplaced.

But when you are looking for ruthlessness then Saka is Arsenal's guarantee.

The England winger is so efficient, his decision making is world class and is also Arsenal's jewel in the crown.

While Mo Salah is Liverpool's go-to man, Cole Palmer is Chelsea's great entertainer, Saka is just the humble, down-to-earth superstar who has kept Arsenal's season going.

Where would they be without his goals and assists?
