Saka responds to Arteta's challenge with 'huge impact'

Bukayo Saka responds to the challenge set by Mikel Arteta as he comes off the bench to change the game against Lille in the Champions League.

Bukayo Saka scored a goal and registered an assist in the win over Lille.

Bukayo Saka responded to the challenge set by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as he proved a game-changer in the 3-0 Champions League win over Lille.

The England forward has been told he should aim to score "two or three" goals per game - such was his quality and the expectation from his boss.

Saka did not achieve that tally against the French visitors, but shook off illness to come off the bench and assist Eberechi Eze's strike that made it 2-0, before rolling in his side's third goal.

The 25-year-old has now scored four goals in nine games this season and looks to be taking the next step in his evolution as Arsenal's key man.
