With the Gunners leading 2-0 in the second half Saka picked up the ball on the right flank and turned Tino Livramento inside out before firing a low shot past goalkeeper Lorius Karius.
After the game Saka was asked if his goal was world class - just days after Rio Ferdinand claimed the England star was not yet at world class level.
Saka responded with a chuckle, saying: "No comment."
The Arsenal talisman now has 13 goals for the season after netting seven times in his last five games.
