After his outstanding performance against Ukraine, England and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka received abundant praise from fans online.
The Three Lions secured a 2-0 victory at Wembley, with Saka’s remarkable display earning him the Man of the Match title.
He scored a goal and provided an assist, setting up Harry Kane for the first goal before unleashing a spectacular shot with his left foot from outside the box to double England’s lead.
England’s win against Ukraine marked their second consecutive victory in the international break, placing them at the top of Group C in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, following their earlier triumph over Italy.
Bukayo Saka’s form has been impressive this season, and his club side Arsenal is currently leading the Premier League standings. Bookmakers have pegged Arsenal as the favorite to clinch the league title this season.
While it remains uncertain if Arsenal will win any trophies this season, there is no doubt that Bukayo Saka’s exceptional performances for England will bring him closer to winning some of the biggest accolades in his career.
His latest display on the pitch drew admiration from even rival fans, as a Tottenham Hotspur supporter took to social media to acknowledge Saka’s talent, stating: “Putting rivalry aside, I have to admit that Saka is on track to become one of the best players of this new generation.”
‘Absolutely Immense ceiling, who knows he has the quality to win the ballon d’Or. Has absolutely nothing to do with trophies or Arsenal success….just quality player.’
Meanwhile, a Chelsea fan said: ‘Name me a better right winger in the world than Saka right now, I promise you cannot, incredible footballer.’
