The re-emergence of a trademark celebration, one synonymous with an Arsenal icon, is one indicator of a confident player in a good place.
The sight of Bukayo Saka peeling off to the nearest corner flag, grabbing it and standing bolt upright — in homage to club legend Thierry Henry — has been an increasingly common one in recent weeks.
We have seen it from him as he has continued to inspire Arsenal towards a first Premier League title since 2004. And there it was again at Wembley on Sunday after he cut in from the right and bent the ball, beautifully, into Ukraine goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin’s top corner to help England maintain their perfect start to Euro 2024 qualifying.
