Some Arsenal fans were over the moon after Bukayo Saka notched up his first goal for England in the win over Austria.

The youngster opened the scoring for the Three Lions in the 56th minute during the 1-0 win over Austria.

It was the youngster’s first senior goal for his home nation in just his fifth cap.

The goal caps off what has been a fine season for the 19-year-old attacker. He scored seven goals and registered 10 assists across all competitions for the Gunners.

Speaking after the game about his performance, Gareth Southgate claimed the youngster is like a ‘slippery eel‘ when he receives the ball.

Meanwhile, Saka claimed it was the ‘best moment’ of his career.
