Alexandre Lacazette's one word message to Bukayo Saka after stunning Eintracht Frankfurt display

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has sent a message to Gunners' teammate Bukayo Saka following his impressive Europa League performance against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The 18-year-old made his first appearance of the season in the European opener in Germany and played his part in every Arsenal goal in the game, scoring one and assisting the other two.

Saka's goal in the 85th minute of the match vs Eintracht Frankfurt was his first for the club, and the player earned rave reviews for both the finish from outside the area and his overall performance, with former defender Martin Keown making a big claim about the youngster.

"They toyed away trying to get young players in and they have found one in Saka," Keown said on BT Sport. "You think of the way Pepe is playing at the moment and they paid £72million for him, and this kid looks better than him tonight."

After the game, the teenager took to Instagram to express his delight.

"Dream come true to score for Arsenal and to get 2 assists tops off a special night," he wrote.

The post gained a response from many teammates, including from injured striker Alexandre Lacazette.

The French forward is currently on the sidelines, but is expected back in training sometime next month.

The one word message simply read "congrats."

Saka was an unused substitute in the last Premier League outing vs Watford, but if the Europa League performance is anything to go by, then it won't be long until he is making waves in the league.
