Arsenal attacker Saka: So fun playing with Lacazette

Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka has said he loves playing with Alexandre Lacazette following Sunday's win over Watford.

Saka played a one-two with the French striker before finishing brilliantly past Ben Foster as the Gunners ran out 3-2 winners at Vicarage Road.

"That's what we work on every day, the high press," Saka told the club's website. "As soon as I won it, I found Laca and he knows my movement and where I am.

"It's so fun to play with him. He put that ball in the perfect spot for me and it was just down to me to finish. I finished well.

"I feel much more confident [in front of goal] - but I still have a long way to go in terms of where I want to be in front of goal. Just to keep trying, that's the only way I can improve. I'll miss some and I'll score some and I'll just learn from them.

"I do set myself targets but at the same time, I just want to win each game. If I don't score but we win, it's better for the team. That's the best way to think about it and at the end of the season, we'll achieve big things like this."
