Arsenal's Saka Reacts After Writing His Name In Nigeria's History Books
Published: November 29, 2018
Bukayo Saka was delighted to make his professional debut for Arsenal in their 3-0 rout of Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League on Thursday evening in Kiev, Ukraine.
Goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Willock secured the Gunners a comprehensive win and top spot in Group E with a game to spare.
What was impressive about the victory was that manager Unai Emery opted to hand senior debuts to Charlie Gilmour and Zech Medley plus the youngest player that traveled to Ukraine, Bukayo Saka.
Saka came on for the final 22 minutes and was denied a maiden goal after a brilliant save from goalkeeper Bogdan Shust five minutes after his introduction.
Saka posted on Instagram shortly after the game: ''Proud moment tonight making my @arsenal debut..⚽️ Dream come true🤩 #Godswork 🙏🏿''.
With winger Xavier Amaechi on the sidelines due to injury, Saka has emerged as
the brightest young talent of Nigerian descent at Arsenal this season
and was rewarded with a professional contract in September.
