Saka's start came just a day after Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard picked up an injury while on international duty.

And it couldn't have some at a worse time for the Gunners, with the North London derby on Sunday.
Arsenal fans are fuming at the decision to start Saka with the crucial fixture coming up.
