After coming to know of Manchester City’s triumph, cameras spotted Saka in tears, taking it all in after the game. The youngster buried his face in his arms as he failed to control his emotions. Saka was unavailable for the game against Everton owing to a muscle injury suffered against Manchester United last week in a narrow 1-0 win.

Fans however, have consoled the player through texts and messages on social media. Many said that Arsenal wouldn’t have even been in this position had it not been for the No. 7.

Rival fans thoroughly ‘enjoyed’ Arsenal’s loss and made fun of their players’ reactions. The player is currently in recovery and will be available to play for England in the upcoming Euros.
