Watch: Fans sing happy birthday to Bukayo Saka as he turns 20

Sep 8 2021 Share

In England’s last match, fans could be heard singing happy birthday to player of the match Bukayo Saka in his post match interview. England comfortably beat Andorra, beating the tiny nation 4-0. Bukayo Saka played a brilliant match scoring a goal and providing 2 assists to Jesse Lingard.

 

The game wasn’t close at all as England played with confidence and never let Andorra get into the game. Jesse Lingard and Bukayo Saka were the stars of the show. Lingard scored twice and showed his doubters that he can still do it on the big stage. Saka wasn’t the only player with a birthday as Leeds striker Patrick Bamford also celebrated his 28th birthday and his England debut.
