Saka has now been praised by the Dutch media, who were hugely impressed with his performance on Wednesday.
Voetbal Primeur highlighted that PSV’s Peter Bosz brought Sergino Dest into the side to try and deal with Saka.
The idea was for right-footed Dest to be in a good position to deal with Saka when cutting in on his left foot.
Well, Saka destroyed that idea but being a constant threat all night long and even scoring with his right foot!
Voetbal Primeur note that Saka was ‘always dangerous’ and Dest could no nothing to stop him from shining for Arsenal.

The 22-year-old just continues to excel; Premier League, World Cup, Champions League – it just doesn’t matter, Saka is that good.
