Bukayo Saka started England's first game of the World Cup. Gareth Southgate opted to start Arsenal's youngster on the right wing to complement Harry Kane, who led the line. He certainly repaid the favour as his two goals helped the Three Lions to a rampant 6-2 victory over Iran. And it was this performance that helped become a starter in all-but one of England’s World Cup matches.
Despite Saka’s impressive performance during the competition where he scored three goals, The Three Lions were unable to progress beyond the quarter-finals after being beaten by France last Saturday.
There were a few standout performers for Southgate at the World Cup but former England football Stan Collymore believes that Saka was the best of the bunch.
