Arsenal midfielder Saka happy developing Foden connection

Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka has enjoyed linking up with Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden for England.

The pair impressed in the World Cup qualifying win against Andorra, with Saka scoring via a Foden assist.

“His passing is special, he is a special player and he showed that," Saka said.

“As we play, we recognise where the spaces are, how we can get in behind them and as the game went on he did it a few times and we realised that was a way we can get in behind them and score goals and we used it a lot.

“We played against Andorra last month so we know how to break them down but we know it's not easy - especially coming away here and playing on this pitch.

“They give their all to defend so it was good that we got an early goal and then we managed to get more and more and kill the game."
