Saka steps up for Arsenal vs Wolves

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka delivered one of his best performances of the campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

The Gunners went into the game as clear favourites to beat Wolves, but they were made to work hard for the outcome after some resolute defending from the visitors.

Arsenal only broke the deadlock in the 70th minute. It came through an own goal from goalkeeper Sam Johnstone which was created from a fine Bukayo Saka cross.

Wolves shockingly equalised in the 90th minute of the encounter, but the Gunners got out of jail thanks to another fine cross from Saka for yet another own goal.

Under pressure from Gabriel Jesus, Yerson Mosquera headed the ball into his own net in the 94th minute to hand Arsenal a much-needed win in the league title race.

Saka, 24, was the standout performer. Aside from his two assists, the winger won 11 out of 11 duels contested alongside four dribbles and a couple of recoveries.
