Golden Boot: Arsenal Star Scores Classy Second Goal As England Streaks Away From Iran

Bukayo Saka may have been a contender for the World Cup Golden Boot soon, with the Arsenal star scoring a classy brace for England.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 21-year-old winger was given a starting spot by Gareth Southgate against Iran, with Manchester City star Phil Foden absent.That display of faith was demonstrated when Saka gave England a two-goal lead in the first half, before scoring the fourth goal of the game after just an hour as he edged past the sculptural Iranian defenders and put the ball into the bottom corner of the goal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE:

England were always in complete control against Iran, with the series of goals scored at the end of the first half extended by 14 minutes due to an injury to the Iranian goalkeeper. As a result, England ended the match with an unexpected 6-2 victory over Iran.

WHAT NEXT?

Having the best possible start, Southgate will be hoping his side will stay motivated to face the United States on Friday and their final Group B encounter with Wales on November 29.
