Thierry Henry, the Arsenal legend, thinks they were really good in their match against Sheffield United. Arsenal won 6-0 on Monday, March 4th. Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, and Ben White all scored goals, and Jayden Bogle accidentally scored one in their own net. Arsenal totally dominated Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Saka helped create two goals for Arsenal. One time, he made Jayden Bogle accidentally score an own goal by crossing the ball in front of the goal after getting past Aaron Trusty. He also created Arsenal’s fifth goal just before halftime. He went down the side again and passed the ball to Declan Rice.
Thierry Henry thinks Saka has started trying to get past his opponent on the outside as well. On Monday Night Football, Henry talked about how Saka is now trying to get past his opponent on the outside, as well as moving inside.
“This is what Bukayo Saka has brought to his game now. People, as you can see, the Sheffield United player went on the inside to wait for him but he went on the outside and I think you need to beat the player on the outside,” Henry said.

Henry also mentioned that Arsenal are playing really well right now. He said they’re playing the way the manager wants them to. Arsenal are in third place in the Premier League. They’ve won 19 out of 27 matches this season.
“They did not concede, they have different scorers, they kept on playing the way Mikel Arteta wants to play at the minute, they took Bukayo Saka off the field [at half-time], but it is important to do this type of thing and this is why at times when you lead well in any Premier League game, make sure you rest. The way we are playing at the minute is outstanding but if I do not see you with the trophy in your hand at the end, then I cannot celebrate too much. But I am really happy,” he said.
