Alan Smith has said on Sky Sports Premier League (9:35pm, November 12, 2022) that Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka did not have a good game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening.

Arsenal got the better of Wolves 2-0 away from home in the Premier League last night.

Martin Odegaard scored both the goals for the Gunners.

Both the goals for the Norway international attacking midfielder came in the second half.

Saka started the match for Arsenal.

As expected, the 21-year-old England international started on the right of a front-three.

And former Arsenal star Smith, who was on co-commentary duty for the match on Sky Sports, was not impressed.

Alan Smith on Bukayo Saka for Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Smith said in the 90th minute when Saka was getting substituted: “Certainly not his best night. He has set such high standards.”

Disappointing

In our view, Bukayo Saka had a disappointing game for Arsenal against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The youngster struggled to get the better of Hugo Bueno and could not link up with right-back Ben White as he has done this season.

It was a poor game from one of the best young players in the Premier League.

However, we have to admit that these things happen.

All players have good games and bad.

We are confident that Saka will bounce back and will start for England at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
