There is a particular passage of play that stuck with the PE teacher at Greenford High School in west London.
Not during the Year 8 County Cup win. But when Bukayo Saka — then in Year 7 — had possession on the right wing, beat a handful of defenders, before cutting inside and firing a left-foot shot into the top corner. It turns out Saka hasn’t forgotten that skill, either.
On Sunday evening, as Arsenal tried to wrestle free of Manchester United, Saka picked up the ball near the same flank.
