Bukayo Saka was the star of the show as Arsenal beat Wolves 2-1.
The England international’s brilliance has been forgotten by a few people this season because his numbers are not as good as they should be.
However, Saka was absolutely incredible against Wolves, and even though he hasn’t been credited with an assist, he is the reason why both goals went in.
Along with that, the 24-year-old achieved an incredible feat that Mikel Arteta will love.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka dominated Wolves in duels
When you think of Bukayo Saka as a player, your mind goes straight to goals and assists.
The Hale End graduate is a phenomenal attacker. He is capable of scoring against any side in the world, and he creates a ton of chances for his teammates as well.
What you don’t associate Saka with, however, is duels, but the Arsenal number seven is actually excellent in that department too.
Against Wolves on Saturday night, the England star contested 10 duels and won every single one of them, which is outstanding.
That feat becomes even more impressive when you find out that no other Arsenal player in the last 10 years has finished a game with 10+ duels and won all of them. (Squawka)
We all know how much Arteta loves duels. So we’re sure the Arsenal manager would’ve been delighted with Saka’s performance on Saturday night.
Arsenal needed someone to step up against Wolves, as almost every other player on the pitch was having a bad game. Saka, who was the captain, did exactly that and helped them pick up all three points.
Where does Bukayo Saka rank amongst Arsenal’s top five most important players right now?
Does he rank higher than Rice, Saliba or Trossard? 🤔
Bukayo Saka made one thing clear to everyone during Arsenal’s win over Wolves
There has been a lot of talk about Saka this season.
Everyone knows that the Englishman is a world-class player, but following Noni Madueke’s impressive performances, some wondered whether the number seven could even get back into the side.
Those debates have been put to bed now.
As good as Madueke is, Saka is on another level, and the way he dragged Arsenal to victory in what was arguably their worst performance of the season in the Premier League shows just how good he is.
The Arsenal right wing belongs to Saka, and that is not going to change for the foreseeable future.
