Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey rates teammate Bukayo Saka as among the best young players in the world.

Saka scored one and assisted another as Arsenal beat Watford 3-2 at Vicarage Road to leapfrog Manchester United into fourth place.

"We all know what he is doing," said Partey. “He is one of the best young players in the world now.

“I think he is doing a great job. I hope he stays with us for a long time and does what he can, and tries to take this team far.

“I think we are mentally strong. We want to go game after game and this is what we are doing. I hope we continue with this form. We knew coming here it was not going to be easy. We tried to do our best and we tried to control the game.

“At the end, we were able to score three goals. It's difficult here so we had to manage [the game] and try our best to get the three points. In the end that is what we did."
