Bukayo Saka has "given the game away" after revealing he spoke to the referee about the physical nature of the challenges he endured against Aston Villa, according to Danny Mills. The Arsenal star admitted in a post match interview after the 1-0 win earlier this month that he asked for "more protection" after being on the receiving end of some strong tackles from opposition players.
Villa boss Steven Gerrard took issue with Saka’s comments and insisted that physicality was part and parcel of football. And Mills believes that the 20-year-old’s comments have made him an easy target for more similar treatment.
