The 18-year-old left-back got forward to assist Nicolas Pepe brilliantly, with his nutmeg in the build-up truly a joy to watch.

Saka watched it with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports afterwards, and his reaction is pretty adorable, to be honest.
It’s great to see a talented young player in good spirits and enjoying his football, with Saka surely having a very bright future at the highest level of the game.
