Super Eagles eligible Bukayo Saka was again irrepressible form to help Arsenal eke out a slim 1-0 victory against Olympiakos in Greece.

The England-born player of Nigerian heritage set up Alexandre Lacazette for a crucial away goal in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie.

The match was heading towards a drab goalless draw when the Frenchman tucked in Saka’s low cross from close range in the 81st minute.

The assist was Saka’s fifth in the competition – the most of any player in the tournament excluding qualifiers – and his ninth assist for the Gunners in all competitions – the most at the club.

The return leg is at Emirates Stadium on Thursday, 27 February.

Elsewhere, Wolverhampton Wanderers made their second-leg against Spanish side Espanyol little more than a formality with a 4-0 spanking at the Molineux.

Portuguese forward Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick while compatriot Ruben Neves scored a thumping 30-yard scorcher to leave Nuno Espirito Santo’s side with a foot in the last 16.

Meanwhile, last season’s Champions League semifinalists Ajax are in danger of crashing out of the competition after they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Getafe in Spain.

Italian giants AS Roma will take a slim 1-0 lead to Belgium after Carles Perez scored to give them victory over Gent at the Stadio Olimpico.

Eintracht Frankfurt put themselves in a commanding position to progress to the Round of 16 with a 4-1 hammering of Austrian side Salzburg while Swiss side Basel are virtually through to the next round following an impressive 3-0 win at Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia.
