'Hold your head high, we are so very proud' - Arsenal support Saka after Euro 2020 final penalty miss

The Gunners have backed their 19-year-old home-grown talent after he suffered shootout heartache with England at Wembley

Arsenal have offered their unwavering support to Bukayo Saka after the home-grown 19-year-old suffered penalty shootout heartache and racist abuse during and after England's Euro 2020 final defeat.

A hot prospect was introduced off the bench by Gareth Southgate in a heavyweight encounter with Italy at Wembley that saw the Three Lions looking to bring 55 years of international hurt to a close.

It was not to be, with Saka one of three players to miss from the spot after a 1-1 draw, and the fallout to that contest has been all too predictable, with certain individuals being singled out for unfair criticism.
