Arsenal player ratings vs Sevilla: Never doubt Bukayo Saka! Forward bounces back from quiet spell by inspiring Gunners to routine Champions League victory

Bukayo Saka is back, baby! After a quiet spell by his own impeccable standards - he failed to score or assist in each of Arsenal's last three games - the winger led the Gunners to a comfortable 2-0 Champions League victory over a terrible Sevilla side on Wednesday night.

The Spanish strugglers were physical from the outset, bombarding their opposing forwards with a string of niggly fouls, but that did not prevent Jorginho carving them open in the first half. The midfielder's sumptuous pass found the marauding Saka, who played it back into the path of Leandro Trossard to tap home.

The 22-year-old then went into business for himself just after the hour, sending Adria Pedrosa for a hot dog in the box before rolling the ball into the far corner. After that, the result was never in doubt, with the bad news of the evening coming when Saka limped off just before the end after landing awkwardly. Thankfully for Arteta, it did not look too bad.

Such was the Gunners' dominance, Sevilla did not even muster a shot on goal until second-half stoppage time. Thanks to PSV beating Lens, the Gunners' progression to the knockout stages is not quite confirmed - but it would take a series of unmitigated disasters for them to slip up from here.
