Really good first half and another fine assist. As for the second half, I think he made more errors than in all his previous appearances combined, which is very unlike Saka: he's usually so composed and mature in his decision-making.
He played a great deal lot of football in recent weeks, so it's not unlikely that those mistakes stem from fatigue.
The difference in physicality and intensity between the Premier League and Academy/Reserve level football cannot be scoffed at. It always takes time for a young player to get acclimatised to the higher physical demands of the Premier League.
