Arsenal youngster Saka wins praise from England boss Southgate

Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka won praise from England boss Gareth Southgate after the 4-0 win over Iceland on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old started after Ben Chilwell suffered a back injury against Belgium and took the chance to impress his manager.

Speaking after the game, Southgate said: "To see Bukayo again was a real plus.

"I think he has really had three excellent performances this week, for someone so young especially. It gives us good balance to have an attack-minded player in that position, it is really helpful."
