Premier League legend Alan Shearer lavished praise on Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka after his stellar performance against Liverpool. Shearer declared Saka “made a mockery” of Liverpool’s highly-paid defender, Andrew Robertson.
Saka’s impressive display included a stunning goal, showcasing his speed, skill and finishing prowess. The 22-year-old winger beat Robertson before slamming the ball into the top corner.
Shearer’s verdict on BBC’s Match of the Day: “Saka was unstoppable. He made a mockery of Robertson, one of the best left-backs.”
Saka’s stats against Liverpool:
1 goal
2 assists
5 successful dribbles
80% passing accuracy
The £160,000-per-week Robertson struggled to contain Saka’s pace and agility.

Youngest Arsenal player to reach 50 Premier League goals (22 years, 138 days)
12th player in Premier League history to achieve this feat before 23
