Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on Bukayo Saka after Arsenal's dominant 4-0 win over Everton that the Gunners boss dubbed a "statement" victory.
The Gunners brushed aside the Toffees with two goals in each half to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points. This particular fixture had been earmarked as a huge tie for a while given it was Arsenal's game in hand over reigning champions and nearest challengers Manchester City.
Therefore, the stakes were high and pressure was on but as has often but the case this term in that situation, Arsenal did not falter. Instead, they rose to the occasion and brushed aside the same Everton that beat them 1-0 at Goodison Park just a few weeks ago.
