Arsenal Winger Of Nigerian Descent Saka Scores Twice For England U19s
Published: March 20, 2019
Nigeria-eligible winger Bukayo Saka put in an eye-popping performance for England U-19s with a brace in their 4-1 win against Czech Republic in a European U19s Championship qualifier on Wednesday afternoon.
The Arsenal starlet was handed a starting berth by manager Keith Downing at St George's Park while his compatriot, Manchester City's midfielder, Felix Nmecha was afforded a place amongst the substitutes.
Donning the No. 11 shirt, Saka did really well to pull his team level after Jakub Selnar had put the opposition in front, profiting from a pass from Angel Gomes to prod home.
He grabbed his brace in the 56th minute, Gomes again the provider with a similar move to the first goal.
Nmecha came on for Gomes in the 72nd minute to taste match action.
