England 2-0 Ukraine: 'Saka confirms status as jewel in Three Lions' crown' after superb display

Bukayo Saka's development as a golden talent for Arsenal and England is moving at such a rapid rate that special moments no longer come as any surprise.

The 21-year-old confirmed his growing stature as a jewel in England's crown by playing a key role in the space of three minutes to set up the 2-0 victory against Ukraine that gave them maximum points from their first two Euro 2024 qualifiers.

England had laboured for 37 minutes in the face of a well-organised Ukraine, with Saka the shining light and biggest hope of a breakthrough as he gave Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko a torrid time.
