Bukayo Saka’s goal and assist helped them to a commanding 2-0 win over Group B opponents Sevilla at the Emirates Stadium.
Four days on from their acrimonious defeat to Newcastle at St James’ Park, victory never looked in doubt from the moment Leandro Trossard swept home Saka’s low cross in the first half.
Saka added the second with a composed finish after latching onto a pass from the similarly dangerous Gabriel Martinelli in the second period, but a positive night was dampened when the 22-year-old limped off after hurting his ankle in the closing stages.
Arsenal will be encouraged by the fact Saka took part in the post-match celebrations, however, and Arteta played down injury concerns afterwards. “It was just a kick,” he said. “I was told by the physios that he wasn’t happy to continue. He had some discomfort but, hopefully, I’m going to assume he’s going to be OK.”

His over realiance on Saka will come back to haunt him Arteta he should learn to have balance of the squad
Arteta's man-management of Saka has to be assessed, he is still young and has to be managed properly especially considering he just came back from an ankle injury. Needed to be subbed cause the game was essentially secured and they have players on the bench who can step up and do the job
Even the guy he learned from Pep rotates his players, I have seen Mahrez score a hattrick and the next game he doesn't play.
Why is no one talking about Arsenal's lack of depth
If this lad gets seriously injured, he will be gone for a long time
You can never know if this guy's serious every interview he never speaks clearly 😂😂
They cant keep my managers name out their mouths… 😅😅😅😅
GQ MAGAZINE MANAGER 🙌🏽
COYG 💪🏽🔴🔴🔴
Some of these young players are gonna be absolutely broken by the time they get to 28/29. Great for the development for a guy like to Saka to play as much as he has, but it can’t be good for their bodies…
The CL is an easier competition for Saka becoz of better refereeing.
He's going to get kicked like Hazard and Grealish. Such a shame he'll probably drop off in the next 6/7 years
The usual media agenda against Arsenal. “Plays down” like you know more.. 🤦🏻♂️ it’s a disgrace. If it were Ange, the title would be “BIG ANGE GIVES POSITIVE UPDATE WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE”
I've been saying this for months now that Mikel's man management on Saka is very very poor!!
Saka just needs to listen to his body and understand that its important not to get burned out
Arteta is trying kill Saka
Midfielder????
It’s all mind games . You always want the opposition second guessing
Arteta needs to improve his man management skills. At this rate Saka will be done within 4 to 5 years.
arsenal the bottlers 😂😂😂😂😂
PGMOL refs dont give him enuf protection
Saka is an overrated injury prone big game failing piece of garbage tbf
Tell me Arsenal fans wanted Saka rested against Sevilla so that he couldnt get injured, To be the Best in the World you play every week, tells you why Ronaldo and Messi are greats while English Players need a Rest, Greateness and Mediocrity
It's the refs… I don't think Messi and Ronaldo were ever kicked as much without being yellow carded..
Pepe was sakas replacement,like 4 like
Saka needs a well desevered rest. He seems to have some knock every other week now. Arteta got blessed with him playing a million minutes last year with no injury but that can only last so long, rotation is key especially for a pacey player that is getting fouled a lot every single week.
Why the Media making it look worst than it really is? He will pick up knocks in every game he plays
Arteta is a great politician
Arteta kids could have coronavirus and he’d still tell them get up for school..
I was there at the game Saka did not look good 😢😢😮😮
