Bukayo Saka has been on fire
Bukayo Saka scored the third goal of the game after an impressive counterattack, and the Arsenal star has now scored his second goal of the game to put clear daylight between the two teams.
Eberechi Eze found his Arsenal teammate with an eye-of-the-needle through pass, and Saka nestled the ball into the back of the net with a coolly placed finish.

If France continues to disappoint at the back, this could be an embarrassing scoreline for them. They have multiple world-class attacking players at their disposal, and Didier Deschamps will certainly hope to motivate his team during halftime and help them bounce back strongly.
