Gary Neville on Bukayo Saka for Arsenal vs Everton
Neville was on co-commentary duty for the match on Sky Sports Premier League.
And he noted in the 57th minute that Everton players were doubling up on the £195,000-a-week (Spotrac) Saka.
Neville said: “They have tended to Saka pretty well so far, Everton. Ganged up on him.”
Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka is used to rough treatment
While Everton did manage to keep Bukayo Saka quiet for long spells in the match, the fact that the Arsenal winger got the assist for the only goal of the match shows that he can be a threat even when he is not having the best of times.
Saka did not have the best of matches against Everton, but he was always there to help out his Arsenal teammates.
The Everton defence knew that the 22-year-old was a threat for them.
Always.
Saka has made 140 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The England international winger has scored 33 goals and given 28 assists in those games.
The Arsenal no. 7 has scored two goals and given two assists in five Premier League matches this campaign.
