Bukayo Saka captained Arsenal to a 2-0 win against Burnley in the Premier League.
The England international has been wearing the skipper’s armband since Martin Odegaard suffered his knee injury, and he has led the side well.
Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice’s goals helped Arsenal beat Burnley, and we’re sure Saka will be delighted with the result.
However, the Gunners’ number seven will be far from pleased with his own display.
Bukayo Saka will be annoyed with his performance for Arsenal vs Burnley
Gyokeres was the star of the show for Arsenal in the first half against Burnley.
The Swede scored the opener in the 14th minute, and he then went on to produce his best display in the famous red and white.
Apart from linking play up really well, Gyokeres created two huge opportunities for Bukayo Saka on counter-attacks.
The England international is usually very clinical in front of goal, and the two chances he got on the end of were simple by his standards.
However, Saka missed both opportunities, with his strikes being saved by Martin Dubravka to keep Burnley in the game.
The Arsenal number seven sets high standards for himself every day, so we’re sure he will be really annoyed about the fact that he missed them.
However, we are sure that he will bounce back very soon.
Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres are forming a dangerous partnership
Saka and Gyokeres are dangerous players on their own, but Arsenal fans haven’t seen them combining too much over the last three months.
However, against Burnley, the two attackers worked really well together.
Gyokeres’ link-up play was fantastic, and Saka ensured he was high up the pitch every time the Swede received the ball with his back to goal.
The former Sporting man could’ve and probably should’ve had two assists at Turf Moor, but his relationship with Saka is really promising.
If that develops even further, those two attackers could blow teams away every week.
