Bukayo Saka revels in 'perfect 20th birthday present', thanking fans for backing him 'through thick and thin' after netting against Andorra... with Ian Wright insisting Arsenal star is banishing Euros demons

Bukayo Saka described his goal against Andorra as a 'perfect birthday present' and thanked fans for backing him 'through thick and thin'.

The Arsenal star received hateful racist messages after he, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford did not score from the spot in a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out defeat against Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

But Saka has received plenty of support from team-mates and fans of other Premier League teams since, and on his first return to the Wembley pitch, eight weeks to the day after that fateful final, scored in the 85th minute at the same end.
