Arsenal Mikel Arteta could not resist the urge of pulling the comparison between young winger Bukayo Saka and arguably the best footballer in the world Lionel Messi after scoring a great goal against Wolves.
Bukayo Saka, 22, started his scoring spree for the season, standing true to his notorious left foot and placing the ball into the net.

Even though Wolves have known Saka’s favorite move, they, like most of their opponents, could not contain him.
Arteta’s High Praise for Bukayo Saka
Arteta even compared it to the way in which Saka performs this special dribble to the one Messi always does.
In a report from Sun Sports, Arteta observed, “That’s football with good players, With Messi I am sure he is going to come here and put the ball there, and he does it all the time, You cannot do anything, that is the quality of the player. ”
Mikel Arteta pleased with Saka’s development
Saka and others such as Declan Rice, and David Raya who featured for Arsenal and also in the Euro 2024 tournament, demonstrated their commitment to the team with an incredible performance.
Gary O’Neil praise Arsenal’s quality in front of goal
Wolves proceed to put pressure on Arsenal but fail to match the goal.
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil voiced his dissatisfaction but also words of approval for his side after the game, stating that the key moment in Arsenal’s victory was their effectiveness in front of the opposition’s goal.
“I thought we were okay, I was happy, I don’t like to lose but at least we made Arsenal to work hard to win,” O’Neil said.
He said that Wolves also had opportunities to equalize, especially when the score was 1-0 in favor of Arsenal, but the Gunners were superior in terms of finishing.
