'No-one can replace Saka' - but Nwaneri, 17, gives Arsenal hope

"No-one can replace him. He is one of the best players in the world."

Gabriel Martinelli's comments about Bukayo Saka are telling as to just how much Arsenal depend on the England winger, how much they will miss him during the months he is absent because of a hamstring issue and how all of Arsenal's front line must step up to replace him.

That was the case in their 3-1 win over Brentford, where Arsenal came from behind thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli, either side of Mikel Merino's close-range strike.
