Bukayo Saka provided Gareth Southgate with a reminder on why he should be starting for England in future matches. The Arsenal youngster was left out of the starting XI for England’s opening Nations League match against Hungary.
The 20-year-old was introduced at half-time for the injured James Justin, and made an immediate impact for Three Lions. His mazy run gave a spark to the English attack which was missing throughout the match.
Despite ultimately being on the losing side, Saka’s 45-minute cameo highlighted why Southgate must start the promising youngster in future matches. Having him on the pitch from the first whistle would certainly increase England’s chances of securing a win.
