The Gunners sealed their qualification into the semi final following their outstanding performance against Slavia Prague in the second leg.
Recall that Mikel Arteta were held to a 1-1 draw at Emirates stadium in the first leg, but on Thursday night it was different Arsenal side that turned up.
First half three goals saw Arsenal pull through before the fourth came from the boot of Alexandre Lacazette who scored twice.
For Saka, he had struck the cross bar before Emile Smith-Rowe tapped home but was ruled out for offside.
But Nicolas Pepe scored few minutes later to give Arsenal the lead before Saka was fouled which allowed Lacazette score from the penalty spot.
In the 24th minutes, Saka broke once again from the right as he struck a low shot for the third goal.
He was voted the player of the week following his performance ahead of Manchester United Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Villarreal Gerard Moreno.
