The footage shows the Ivorian meeting crosses from the right, with Saka in goal trying to save them.

Pépé’s first effort hits the bar before bouncing to safety, although he managed to beat the 19-year-old with his second effort.

Thomas Partey can also be seen in the shot, grinning from ear to ear as he watches the attacking duo mess around on the pitch at London Colney.
