Arsenal coach Gillard hails 'very good human being' Saka after Spurs FYC rout

Arsenal coach Ken Gillard was delighted with Bukayo Saka after his performance in their FA Youth Cup win over Tottenham.

The Gunners won 5-2 with Saka scoring twice.

Gillard said, "First of all he's a very good human being.

"He's a great person whether he's playing with the first team, the under-23s or with the under-18s, and I'm sure that if you asked him to play for the under-16s he'd go and do it with a smile on his face! He's a very good player and a great person with a top attitude.

"There were some very good performances out there, it was a real team performance and we're all very, very proud of them."
