Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is one of the most exciting talents the Premier League has seen in a very long time.

The 20-year-old scored his ninth goal of the season as the Gunners picked up a huge three points in a 3-2 win against Watford.

In fact, it was another very good weekend for Mikel Arteta's side.

Not only did they beat Watford but they also saw top-four rivals West Ham, Wolves and Manchester United all lose.

It's a weekend that leaves them fourth, ahead of both Man Utd and West Ham despite having three matches in hand of them. They're six points above Tottenham having played the same number of matches. Meanwhile, they're eight points superior to Wolves having played two fewer games.

In other words, they are now odds-on favourites to finish in the top four and qualify for next season's Champions League.

And once again in the victory over Watford, Saka was the star boy.

Within 30 minutes, he had registered an assist for Martin Odegaard and scored a quite beautiful goal of his own.

Saka picked up the ball, ran towards the Watford defence, played a one-two with Alexandre Lacazette and curled a wonderful effort into the top corner.

What. A. Goal.

You may feel that you've seen that goal scored before.

That's because you probably have.

It was scored by arguably the greatest player to have ever played the game earlier this season.

Yes, we're talking about Lionel Messi.

Messi scored his first ever goal for Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League clash against Manchester City during a 2-0 victory.

Swap Saka for Messi and Lacazette for Kylian Mbappe and it was pretty much identical.

So much so that someone has created a brilliant video with the two strikes merged together showing just how similar they really were. The video captioned: "Give whoever made this an Oscar" is going viral on Twitter.

Saka has shown fantastic courage and attitude to bounce back after a summer which saw him miss a penalty in the shootout of Euro 2020 final against Italy.

And Arteta believes the bitter disappointment and shocking abuse he received has actually been a blessing in disguise for him.

"I think Bukayo had an experience in the summer that not a lot of players would ever have and I think it was great for his career because the football world showed how much they like him and how much they respect him," Arteta said.

"I think that was a big boost for him to realise in difficult moments that people are going to give him support, and the club did exactly the same as his team-mates.

"Then it's about giving him that space. What he is already doing is phenomenal and he needs that room. Don't read too much, do what you do.

"Football is his priority in life and you can see that every day in training and he needs to continue to behave and live the way that he is doing."
