admiration for bukayo saka in 37—0 win last nights in north macedonia. to see the joy on his face. he is such a popular member of the team and so humble. works incredibly hard and, of course, talented. he has been finishing like that all week. it was an outstanding performance. when he broke into the team at arsenal, what struck us was in a team that were having a difficult time, he was performing at a really high level. then when the team were playing well, he was still a key player and performing at a high level, that says a lot about his mentality, his ability to deal with pressure, and that is the environment we are in all the time. he is exceptional to work with. robert page says his side must win
