Mikel Arteta suggests one Arsenal player did something Lionel Messi-like vs Wolves
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is delighted with his side’s 2-0 win against Wolves.
The Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League🌸 title this season, and they have started the campaign just like they wanted to – by picking up the three points.
Kai Havertz opened the scoring for them in the first half before Bukayo Saka💙 doubled their lead to give the hosts a comfortable 2-0 win at the Emirates.
ꦐArteta was blown away by one player after the game.
Mikel Arteta makes Lionel Messi claim while talking about Bukayo Saka
Lionel Messi🧔 is arguably the greatest player in the history of football.
🌳The Argentine has won it all for club and country in his legendary career, and he is an inspiration to many young footballers across the globe.
Even though Saka’s role model is Cristiano Ronaldo, we’re sure the Arsenal൲ number seven can learn a lot from Messi because he plays in a similar position.
ꦜAgainst Wolves on Saturday afternoon, in a period of the game where the Gunners were under a bit of pressure, Saka produced a fantastic moment.
❀The Englishman picked the ball up on the left side of the box, cut inside and smashed a fierce strike past Jose Sa into the back of the net. It was a brilliant finish.
🌳Looking back at the goal, you could tell that Saka would cut inside and get a shot away – it seemed obvious, but the Wolves defenders could not stop it.
𒈔Arteta has suggested that the same thing always happened to defenders when Messi cut inside.
꧂He said, as per : “With good players, it’s like that. With Messi, I know he’s gonna come in and do that, but you can’t stop him.”
Bukayo Saka’s stats vs Wolves are incredible
💖Everyone knew going into the 2024/25 season that Saka is Arsenal’s main man.
🎀The Englishman has been magnificent for the Gunners year after year, and he has been improving every single season too.
Saka scored a goal and picked up an assist against Wolves𒁃 at the Emirates, but that was not all he did during his time on the pitch.
♎The 22-year-old completed 18 of his 20 attempted passes, thus registering a 90 per cent passing accuracy. He also created five chances, which is just sensational.
༒ gave Saka an 8.8/10 rating for his performance – more than any other player on the pitch.
🦩If Saka can keep producing the goods as he has done against Wolves, Arsenal have every chance of going all the way in the title race this season.
