Tottenham supporters have reacted on Twitter to Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka being applauded onto the pitch during the North London derby on Sunday.
The 19-year-old returned to action for the first time since being racially abused after the Euro 2020 final involving England and Italy.
Here is the 14-second clip that Tottenham posted of their pre-season game on their official Twitter account:
And when the Arsenal star was brought into the action yesterday, those in the stands at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium applauded him on to the pitch.
Spurs fans on social media echoed the feelings out in North London and some shared that Saka will go a long way in his career.
That moment wasn’t missed by Saka because he responded by applauding the Spurs fans back and issued this response on Instagram:
But when it came to footballing matters, it was a familiar feeling for Saka because Arsenal suffered yet another defeat.
Things haven’t been going well for Mikel Arteta in pre-season and he needs his teenage sensation back to fitness and form as soon as possible.
Arsenal will kick off the new Premier League season on Friday when they take on Brentford.
And whilst Saka won’t be fit enough to start that match, just like Spurs need Harry Kane, their neighbour’s needs Saka back and firing.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Spurs fans reacting to Saka’s return yesterday:
