“Generational talent” - Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka scores worldie for England, fans go wild on social media

Football fans online heaped praise on Bukayo Saka after the Arsenal star netted a wonderful goal for England against Ukraine in their Euro 2024 qualifier.

Saka scored England's second goal of the game after skipper Harry Kane opened the scoring for the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium. The Arsenal attacker scored from outside the box as he curled his shot past Ukrainian shot-stopper Anatoliy Trubin to double England's lead (40').

Football fans on Twitter were blown away by Saka's goal against Ukraine. Some stated that he is currently the best youngster in world football while others claimed that he could compete for the Ballon d'Or.

Here are a few tweets in that regard:

Bukayo Saka has had an excellent start to his international career since making his England debut back in 2020. The winger, 21, has now scored eight goals from 26 caps for Gareth Southgate's side.

This includes scoring three goals at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The Arsenal starlet scored a brace in England's 6-2 win over Iran and then scored another goal against Senegal in the round of 16.

England, meanwhile, came into their game against Ukraine on the back of a narrow 2-1 win over Italy in their opening match of Euro 2024 Qualifiers. Declan Rice and Harry Kane scored on that occasion, with Luke Shaw seeing a red card with 10 minutes remaining.
