Making only his second senior start on Thursday, Saka troubled the German team's defence with his pace and skill on the left wing and was rewarded for his effort when he found the net with a clinical finish from 20 yards in the 85th minute. "I'm so happy to score for Arsenal," the 18-year-old told reporters after the match."It's a dream come true - I have been dreaming of this moment since I was a kid.Saka's goal made him the youngest player to score for Arsenal in European competition since Oct. 2008, when a 17-year-old Aaron Ramsey found the net against Turkey's Fenerbahce.

Saka was part of a lively attacking midfield alongside fellow academy graduates Willock, 20, and Emile Smith Rowe, 19. Arsenal manager Unai Emery was impressed with their display.
