"Really impressive and it's all areas of the pitch," Keown told BT Sport.

"From the back to the midfield… and up front, you look at Saka and Smith Rowe, they are real talents.

"Absolutely outstanding. Saka, he can play almost anywhere. We were listening to his PE teacher tell us what a good player he was in any position, he proved that tonight.

"This fella [Smith Rowe], two nutmegs and the composure there. How's he getting through there [when assisting Pepe's goal]? He's got composure determination, he doesn't panic and this is really clever, little nutmeg and a second one with the pass."
