The England star was named in the starting lineup and played 82 minutes of the encounter before he was taken off for Noni Madueke.
However, despite Saka’s status as Arsenal’s star player, the 24-year-old was a non-show in the game, as he failed to help his side cause.
Saka completed just four passes in his 82 minutes on the pitch, while he also had zero shots and zero take-ons. He also failed to make an accurate cross or a key pass before he was taken off.

Despite the criticism, though, Saka has no time to dwell on his performance as he will join the rest of his England teammates for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
