Exciting Arsenal youngster made debut in Europa League.

Bukayo Saka of Arsenal takes on Farrend Rawson of Forest Green during the match between Forest Green and Arsenal U21 at The New Lawn on November 7, 2018 in Nailsworth, England.

Arsenal used their Europa League tie against Vorskla Poltava to give game time to a number of their talented youngsters.

The Gunners won the game 3-0, with Emilie Smith-Rowe and Joe Willock scoring, in addition to Aaron Ramsey’s penalty.

The game also saw Arsenal bring Zech Medley and Charlie Gilmour off the bench and Eddie Nketiah start. Perhaps the most eye catching performance came from teenager Bukayo Saka.

Saka is a 17-year-old winger who has caught the eye in Arsenal’s academy.

First team boss Unai Emery has been impressed by what he has seen so far and handed him his debut last night.

The youngster came on wearing Arsenal’s number 87 shirt as he replaced Ramsey with 20 minutes to go.

In his brief showing he had one shot on target and created another chance, showing flashes of raw ability.
