Arteta delighted with Saka and Skelly’s form, praised for being beyond their years
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after his team beat Monaco 3-0 in the Champions League on December 11 that he was very happy to score three goals, keep a clean sheet and get the win. “We started very well. We should have killed the game in the first half but we didn’t because in the Champions League you have difficult moments and we did. But after the second goal we took control of the game.
Arteta continued: “We scored three goals from open play this time, from different plays. That’s what we wanted because it means we can be dangerous in any game. We should score more goals from open play, but right now I’m very happy.
Arteta also praised Bukayo Saka, who scored twice in the https://ufabet999.app match, saying he looks very mature at 23. What he shows on the pitch now is incredible.

He is loved by everyone and makes the difference on the pitch.
The Gunners boss also praised 18-year-old Miles Lewis Skelly, who made his Champions League debut, as one of the highlights of the game. He liked how brave he was, his positioning and his play on the ball. He is truly an Arsenal player and has a bright future ahead of him. As a club and manager, he has been delighted to see him grow and it is a good feeling to have made a difference in someone’s life.
