'Saka's Decision-making In The Final Third Is Exceptional' - Liverpool Hero Praises Arsenal Winger
Published: August 30, 2020Bukayo Saka, 18, has been praised for his decision making by former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy in the wake of Arsenal's win against Liverpool in the Community Shield on Saturday.
Twelve minutes into the contest at the National Stadium in London, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring with a sensational strike after a beautiful cross-field pass from Saka.
The talented winger of Nigerian descent registered more assists than any other player for Arsenal over the course of 2019-2020 and has picked up from where he left off last season by adding another assist to his collection in his first game wearing his new number 7 jersey.
Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, Murphy said : "Arsenal played the ball out from the back under pressure from a Liverpool side who are one of the best in the world at the high press.
"But they kept their composure, played through the lines and broke out.
"A superb ball from Bukayo Saka, whose decision-making in the final third is exceptional for a young player, and a great finish from Aubameyang. "
