Vieira on Saka

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has slammed Bukayo Saka following the club's 3-2 Premier League loss to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.



The Gunners suffered their first defeat at the Emirates this campaign after a lacklustre attacking display.

Speaking after the game, Vieira hit out at Saka and said that one would expect more from him in the big matches.

He told Sky Sports: "Saka was too quiet, in big games like this you expect him to take the team and perform but he didn't."

Arsenal were widely expected to beat the Red Devils on their home turf, but they ended up suffering their first defeat of the season at the stadium.

The Gunners also conceded three goals for the first time in more than 100 games. It proved to be a forgettable evening for the north London giants.

Arsenal have no time to ponder upon the result. They face Leeds United on the road in the league next weekend and must return to winning ways.

In between, they have a dead-rubber against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League, where manager Mikel Arteta could ring in the changes.
