A selection of Arsenal fans were delighted for Bukayo Saka as he netted his maiden England goal in an international friendly against Austria on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old was the standout performer for the Gunners last term, registering seven goals and 10 assists from 46 appearances in all competitions.
Saka made the cut for the 26-man squad for the European Championships earlier this week, and he opened his goalscoring account for the Three Lions last night.
It was a tap-in into an empty net, but Saka found himself in the right position to take advantage of the loose ball after Jack Grealish was intercepted.
His 56th-minute goal gave England a 1-0 win. Here is how some of the Gunners’ faithful reacted after his maiden goal for his country.
Twitter reactions:
“Why is Saka starting”
“Why did Saka get picked for the Euros”
“Saka has been terrible in this game” https://t.co/718SBmfnQf
