Darren Bent has shared a video on Twitter of him playing darts with Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka.
What’s the story?
Arsenal ace Saka is part of the England squad for the Euro 2020 finals.
The Three Lions will take on Ukraine in Roma in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
Of course, the England players are preparing for the game, but it is not like that they are training all the time.
Saka, like the rest of the England players, gets downtime and has media responsibilities.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT pundit Bent, a former Tottenham Hotspur striker, challenged the Arsenal star to a game of darts at St George’s Park yesterday.
The Arsenal-supporting former England international striker was confident that he would beat the 19-year-old, but he did not.
Here is the footage that Bent uploaded yesterday.
Darren Bent shocked
Saka, who was arguably the best player for Arsenal last season, scored more than Bent, as you can see.
Bent said on Saka’s score: “Not a bad score. Goodness. Not bad, that.”
The 19-year-old scored 69. The highest he could have scored is 180.
It is not exactly an earth-shattering score – it is good – but it is certainly way more than what Bent’s.
No wonder Bent was shocked to see how good Saka is at darts, as his score was very low.
If you remember, there was a footage of Saka playing golf a few days ago.
The Arsenal star, who can play as a winger, left-back and midfelder, did not look very comfortable on that occasion, but he certainly seems better at darts.
At least against Bent.
