Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock paid tribute to Arsenal star Bukayo Saka after scoring against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
The Hale End academy graduate broke the deadlock just after the hour mark of their Premier League encounter before celebrating with the same stance at the corner flag that Saka has made famous recently. After scoring against Aston Villa back in February, the England international posted a picture of his celebration along with another photo of Gunners icon Thierry Henry doing the same celebration for France with the message: "Honouring the King *crown emoji*."
Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun also emulated Henry's celebration back in January after scoring against Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain. “Spoke to Titi (Henry) before the game! Only right I show my respect", Balogun's social media post at the time read.
