Bukayo Saka has now put himself in some extraordinary company

Bukayo Saka scored Arsenal’s third goal in their 3-0 win against Lille at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old didn’t start the game, but came on along with Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz at the 65-minute mark, and it took him just under six minutes to register an assist and a goal.

First, he set up Eberechi Eze with a quick cutback across goal, before slotting in a tidy finish into the bottom corner after some nice combination play inside the box.

It took Saka’s tally of goals for Arsenal in major European competitions to 19, second only to Thierry Henry , who sits a long way in front on 42.
