'Better than Grealish!' - Arsenal fans in agreement after what Bukayo Saka did vs Norwich

Arsenal fans have taken to social media to hail Bukayo Saka after he broke the deadlock in their Premier League clash against Norwich City.

The Gunners came into the fixture at Carrow Road on the back of three successive league victories, having defeated Southampton, West Ham United and Leeds United over the festive period.

Mikel Arteta's side currently sit fourth in the league table, with a win over the Norfolk-based club sending them three points behind third-placed Chelsea, who take on Aston Villa later on Sunday afternoon.

The north London outfit got off to a flying start against the Canaries, taking the lead through Hale End graduate Saka after a swift counter-attack that saw Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard combine in transition before Saka eventually finished the ball into the bottom left corner.

It was the ninth time the England international has provided a goal or an assist this season, prompting a number of Arsenal fans to take to social media to heap praise on the club's reigning player of the year winner. Here is what a select few on Twitter said.

@nonewthing : "Our crown jewel!"

@AFCMax9 : "WHAT A TEAM GOAL SAKAAAA."

@x__saka__x : "Saka being better than greenwood was never the debate."

@tomikdotk1 : "Saka so much better than Grealish imo. I think Southgate agrees too."

@THEREAL69290605 : "Bukayo Saka is the gift that keeps on giving."

@_IKENNA_ : "Assist for Ødegaard, beautiful goal by Saka. Adding goals to his game, it’ll be over for the league when he becomes more clinical."

@threalspursfan : "Its time to admit it….. he’s better than Son."

@afcolllem : "Best in the league behind Martinelli."
