Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown have both showered Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka with praise as the Gunners continued their hunt for a top-four spot against Manchester United on Saturday. A 4-2 win against Chelsea in midweek added new life to their top-four hunt after three defeats on the bounce in the league.
Saka was involved throughout the game and made the points safe from the penalty spot in injury time after being fouled by Cesar Azpilicueta in the penalty area. An Eddie Nketiah double and a sweet strike from Emile Smith Rowe had already put Mikel Arteta's men in the ascendancy. He added another goal from the spot in the first half against Manchester United before unfortunately being withdrawn with an injury.
Both legendary Premier League defenders spoke highly of the winger in the build-up to the match on Saturday. Both singled out Saka's attitude as one of his most impressive qualities.
