Arsenal fans have now given their thoughts on the performance Bukayo Saka produced for England v Denmark at Euro 2024.
England followed up their 1-0 win over Serbia with a 1-1 draw against Denmark on Thursday.
Bukayo Saka sparkled in that first match against the Serbs. The Arsenal ace passed a fitness test and was included in the starting XI by Gareth Southgate.
The 22-year-old provided the cross for Jude Bellingham’s early goal, which earned the Three Lions a 1-0 win in that match. Arsenal fans were impressed by Saka’s showing in that game.
The Hale End academy graduate retained his starting berth for this outing against the Danes, and once again kept a wide starting position, hugging the touchline on the right flank and stretching the opposition defence.
However, as England toiled through the match, sloppy in possession as a team, Saka could not influence the game in the manner he did against Serbia.
Saka came into this tournament off the back of a fine domestic campaign. In 47 appearances for the Gunners over the course of the campaign, across all competitions, the attacker racked up 20 goals and 14 assists.
Mikel Arteta is hugely reliant upon Saka, and he is a talismanic figure at the Emirates Stadium. The Spanish coach will simply be hoping that he can come through this international competition unscathed.
Arsenal supporters will also be desperately hoping that he can avoid injury and continue to impress for his country.
