Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka expressed his delight at the return of his teammate Martin Ødegaard, after both players featured in the Gunners’ emphatic win.

The Gunners had failed to win or score in both of their Champions League matches on their travels so far this season.

Bukayo Saka shares how he feels about Martin Odegaard being back for Arsenal after the 5-1 Champions League win over Sporting CP.

“He’s an unbelievable player,” Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka said of Odegaard. “The day he returned, there was a big smile on my face. You can see the chemistry we have. I hope he stays fit for the rest of the season.”

Arsenal needed to make a statement after a run of underwhelming form and thanks to the return of Martin Odegaard, they got it with an emphatic display at Sporting.

Odegaard and Saka combined beautifully for Arsenal’s opening goal, with the latter’s quick feet in the box facilitating a slick give-and-go. Saka did the rest, mazing his way across the box before lashing the ball into the top corner.
