'Putting on the shirt was a special moment'

Thursday evening was a special one for Bukayo Saka, his family and everyone who has played a part in his development here in north London.

Our 19-year-old started in England's 3-0 win over Wales, becoming our second Hale End graduate to win his first cap this year after Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

And Saka will never forget the experience.

"Putting the shirt on was a very special moment," he said. "When I put it on before the game I remembered all the times I put it on in the youth team and this one was just different, so special for me.
