Gary Lineker has lavished praise on to Bukayo Saka, after his thunderous equaliser for Arsenal in their 4-2 win against Aston Villa.
The £70,000-a-week man struck a first-time volley right into the roof of the net past a hapless Emiliano Martinez, after Ollie Watkins’ impeccable early opener. However, the Gunners conceded soon after as Philippe Coutinho finished off a well-worked goal to sink the visitors at Villa Park and put a dent in their Premier League title hopes.
Gary Lineker, who was in awe of Bukayo Saka against Brentford as well gave a 5-word reaction to his splendid goal against Aston Villa, as the Arsenal superstar continues to have a sublime campaign.
Gary Lineker drops 5-word reaction to Bukayo Saka goal in Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Time and again, the ‘ridiculous’ England international steps up with the goods for his boyhood club, who are chasing their first league title since the ‘Invincibles’ campaign back in 2004.
However, Gary Lineker gave Bukayo Saka the credit he deserves after his glorious strike for Arsenal against Aston Villa, tweeting, “He’s so blood good, is Bukayo Saka.”
Unlike his teammates, Saka has not crumbled under the title pressure
Ultimately, it is completely understandable why many of Mikel Arteta’s stalwarts such as Martin Odegaard, Ben White and William Saliba have never been in such title-contending positions.
While Bukayo Saka has not either, he has shown zero signs of any nerves, as Gary Lineker noticed when he shrugged off any indications of pressure by thumping a volley into the Aston Villa net.
Against Man City as well, the ‘unique’ winger was a menace, whilst he made the difference against Brentford, before his side conceded.
It seems as if Tony Adams was spot on when he said that stopping Saka is the secret to stopping Arsenal.
