Bukayo Saka has been one of England's best performers at the World Cup in Qatar with fellow Premier League star Adam Lallana admitting he has "a new appreciation of his talent". The Arsenal star has scored three goals in as many games for his country which included a delightful finish against Senegal in the last-16.
After Jordan Henderson and Harry Kane had put England in control, Saka sealed the win in style delicately lofting the ball over Edouard Mendy from Phil Foden's pass. Following the performances and goals from Marcus Rashford and Foden, the 21-year-old was tipped by many to miss out on the Three Lions first knockout game, however Gareth Southgate opted to bring him back into the starting XI.
Ultimately his decision was rectified with Saka joining Rashford on three tournament goals following his brace in the group stage win against Iran. Saka now also looks likely to start in the quarter-final fixture against France with Southgate opting for an unchanged team.
