Impressive performance

In our view, Bukayo Saka played well for Arsenal against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 21-year-old took his goal extremely well and was a problem for the Villa players throughout his time on the pitch.

The England international winger got some rough treatment at times, but he rose to the physical challenge.

Saka was a constant threat, and there were occasions in the second half when it looked like he was doing it all on his own.

Now, we do not think that this was one of the best games from Saka so far this season, but it was better than his performances in recent times.

According to WhoScored, Saka took six shots, had a pass accuracy of 66.7%, took 83 touches, attempted three dribbles, made four tackles, and put in 10 crosses.
