What Trent Alexander-Arnold told to Saka at half-time proves ‘he’s top player’

Before Bukayo Saka, an Arsenal forward, scored his second of three goals for England on Monday night, Trent Alexander-Arnold reportedly promised him he would provide a magnificent assist.

Saka scored three goals for the first time in his career as the Three Lions defeated North Macedonia 7-0 at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old played alongside Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane in a deadly front line, with the former scoring two goals and the latter one.

Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, continued to play in the midfield position in which he excelled against Malta on Friday.

In that victory, the Liverpool star teed up Saka with a wonderful pass before a Malta player put the ball in his own net.

The collaboration performed even better on Monday. Alexander-Arnold sliced open the North Macedonian defense with a pass, which Saka pounced on and fired in with a scorching shot.

Saka told Channel 4 of his relationship with Alexander-Arnold: “He’s a top player. He informed me of his intention to make the pass at halftime.

“When I won, I looked for him so I could thank him. I did not need to pause in my stride.

“The season has been extremely long. The season has come to a close. I couldn’t have brought it to a close any better. It’s time to unwind and take a rest.
