Willock gave the Gunners an early lead through a deflected shot in the first half. Saka scored his first senior goal for the club in the 85th minute.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added a third two minutes later as Arsenal returned to winning ways.
Saka took to social networking site Twitter after the match and expressed his reaction. He tweeted:
Dream come true to score for @arsenal 😍 and to get 2 assists tops of a special night🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/HONgguzjFj

The 18-year-old, who was playing for the first team for the first time this season, was outstanding on the left flank. He made a significant contribution during the game, scoring once and setting up the other two goals.
He was the main threat for the Gunners in the first half and produced a fantastic piece of skill to set up the opening foal for Willock.
The youngster could have easily added more goals to his tally had he not spurned a number of chances to increase Arsenal’s lead.
Arsenal enjoyed only 44% of possession. The Gunners registered 16 shots of which they managed to keep six on target.
