Saka double the difference against Monaco as Arsenal move within touching distance of UCL knockouts

Bukayo Saka capitalises on a Monaco mistake to net Arsenal's second of the evening

Arsenal 3 (Saka 34, 78, Havertz 88) Monaco 0

Bukayo Saka has looked the part at this level ever since he made his Arsenal debut in European competition as a teenager. Now just 23, the England forward has played 14 Champions League games and played a role in 14 goals, scoring eight and assisting six. His two crucial finishes in this match moved his side to within touching distance of automatic qualification for the knockout stage of this season’s expanded Champions League format. Substitute Kai Havertz netted late on to give the scoreline a flattering flourish to a deserved victory.
