Roy Keane has suggested that Bukayo Saka should enjoy the winning feeling for England as he doesn’t get to experience that at Arsenal.
Saka scored the fourth goal with a header in England’s 4-0 win over Andorra in the World Cup qualifier on Sunday afternoon at Wembley. The youngster, who missed a penalty in the Euro Cup final against Italy, was given a warm welcome by the England fans.
The highly-rated Arsenal youngster, who was so impressive for England during the Euro championships suffered a massive heartbreak as he missed a crucial penalty. In his first game back in England colours, he scored and also provided an assist.

Keane, while commentating for ITV, claimed that Saka “reacted” well after a “tough summer”. However, the outspoken Tv pundit couldn’t help himself but aim a brutal dig at Arsenal, hinting at their horror start to the season.
The Manchester United legend said to ITV: “Football is all about dealing with disappointments. He had a tough summer and reacted well. He seems a good kid.”
“Obviously a nice day for him today. He scored with a header. I am sure he is going to enjoy the win because he’s not getting many at club level, so he can make the most of it.”
