Saka stars as Arsenal beat PSG

According to ESPN, the breakthrough came after Kai Havertz gave Arsenal the lead, and Saka doubled it with a free kick that curled its way into the net, albeit with a stroke of luck.

Despite PSG dominating possession for much of the match, the 23-year-old and his teammates held firm, securing three crucial points in Europe.

In the final third, Saka was a constant menace, often leaving Nuno Mendes trailing in his wake and threatening every time he advanced, per Goal.

His overall performance warranted the fortune of his set-piece goal, showcasing his growing influence in the side under manager Mikel Arteta.

Saka makes bold Premier League prediction

After the match, Saka’s confidence was evident during an interview with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who was on punditry for CBS Sports.

Henry inquired about Arsenal’s Premier League ambitions, with the club eager to break its title drought after falling just short to Manchester City in recent seasons.

Saka responded with measured optimism, saying:

The Englishman acknowledged the growing belief within the team as they continue their push for Premier League glory.

What's next for Saka's Arsenal?

Arsenal faces an away trip to Southampton, who are yet to secure a victory in their opening six Premier League matches.

It presents a crucial opportunity for Arteta’s side to maintain momentum in both their domestic and European pursuits.
