Popular football pundit Gary Lineker has showered heaps of praise on Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka after the Gunners earned a 3-1 win over Southampton.

The Gunners maintained their excellent run of Premier League form by coming from behind to beat the Saints at St Mary’s on Tuesday.

Arsenal missed a glorious chance to take the lead in the opening minute after Alexandre Lacazette failed to hit the target from a one-on-one situation. 

Within two minutes, Stuart Armstrong gave Southampton the lead, scoring from a wonderful delivery from captain James Ward-Prowse.

Five minutes later, Nicolas Pepe equalised with a neat finish. Bukayo Saka put the Gunners ahead after going past keeper Alex McCarthy, before both sides created some very good scoring chances. 

The 19-year-old picked out Lacazette to seal all three points, with Arsenal dedicating the victory to absent captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed the game for personal reasons.

Lineker has hailed Saka as a ‘great talent’, adding he was ‘terrific’ against the Saints.

Young @BukayoSaka87 has been terrific again tonight. Great talent.
