For Footballnetworks.net, it is also a 6/10 for the youngster.
"Saka - 6. I thought he was our only player who turned up in the first half and should feel unlucky to have been subbed at half time."
"Saka 6."
"I thought he was very unfortunate to be substituted, I understand why but based on contribution it was undeserved but then he never cost £72 Million," writes JustArsenal.com.
Popular blog dedicated to the club, Arsenal Station went a nodge further with a 6.5 rating of the winger whom Nigerians hope will someday represent the Nigerian senior national team.
"Saka 6.5/10. Great to see him start in the league and he was one of our better performers in a the first half. He showed no fear, always wanted the ball and went close with a long-range effort. Harshly hauled off at the break after we went down to 10-men,"
Saka could also be handed a start on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup against Nottingham Forest.
