Arsenal 1-0 Monaco
34. Bukayo Saka taps in and Arsenal lead at the Emirates!
It’s a simple finish from the Gunners’ star boy, but one that owes so much to intelligent play from both Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Jesus.
The young left-back engineers the attack by playing the Brazilian striker into space, and he responds by sending a brilliant low ball across the face of goal.
Saka couldn’t miss! He didn’t miss! And Arsenal have lift-off on Matchday Six!

A deserved booking.

The Gunners go route one and a long raking pass from Lewis-Skelly sends his striker one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
As Jesus chests down, Monaco stopper Majecki retreats to his goalline, but comes up trumps a split-second later by sticking out a long leg to brilliantly block the subsequent shot.
