UEFA Europa League 2022-23: Bukayo Saka's Freak Goal Helps Arsenal Beat Bodø/Glimt – In Pics

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka scored as Arsenal beat Bodø/Glimt 1-0 in Norway to stay perfect with its third straight Europa League victory. Saka was fed by Sambi Lokonga to net the decider for the Premier League leaders in the 24th minute. With the victory, Arsenal are atop Group A with nine points from three games — with a match against PSV Eindhoven still pending. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta rested the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko for the Norway trip as he eyes a trip to Leeds at the weekend. But the Gunners did not miss Jesus' services as Saka made sure there were no hiccups along the way. The Norwegian club did their best to find the net in the second half but USA goalie, Matt Turner was his level best.
