Arsenal driven by Bukayo Saka-Martin Odegaard combination to boost top-four hopes with win at Watford

WATFORD, England -- Perhaps it should not be a surprise that the man nicknamed "Little Chilli" is handling the heat. Bukayo Saka scored one and made another as Arsenal claimed a 3-2 win at Watford on Sunday to take another vital step forward in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

The Premier League's top-four race is intensifying with each passing week, yet Saka and Martin Odegaard embodied a freedom of expression that belied the idea that the Gunners are under pressure to deliver at the business end of the season.
