Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka has opened up on how both club and country supported him after his Euro 2020 final crucial penalty miss.
The Three Lions were taken to a penalty shootout by Italy but Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all missed penalties, resulting in the trio receiving a wave of racial and online abuse, as England suffered heartbreak in the final. The 21-year-old was one of the breakout stars of the tournament and went on to enjoy a strong season with the Gunners and has continued his brilliant form into the 2022/23 campaign.
Saka is now considered one of the brightest English talents and showed his quality once again in his World Cup debut against Iran, scoring two brilliant goals for Gareth Southgate's side. A fine volleyed finish in the first half was followed up by some clever footwork and a composed strike into the bottom corner, making Saka almost certain to start against the USA on Friday.
