Arsenal hero Martin Keown was impressed with the performance of the Hale End Academy product and reckons that the teenager is playing beyond his years.
Speaking on BBC's Match of the Day, Keown said : "Saka, the young kid, 18, he is of age, look at this for a bit of confidence the way he plays it through his opponents legs. Little nutmeg, out the other side, beautiful, he picks outs Pepe who has come alive actually today.
"He (Pepe) has been accused of staying out wide too often but he comes in and it was beautiful to watch....
"It may have flattered them a little bit 4-0 but Saka is a player going from strength to strength. "
