A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter heaped praise on Bukayo Saka after his key contribution in England’s 2-1 win over Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final.

The forward missed the quarter-final against Ukraine with a minor ankle injury, and his replacement Jadon Sancho produced an impressive display in the 4-0 triumph.

Despite this, the new Manchester United signing dropped to the bench last night as Saka was reinstated into the starting line-up by manager Gareth Southgate.

Saka proved his worth by creating England’s equalising goal in the 39th minute. His attempted pass for Raheem Sterling was converted into his own net by Simon Kjaer.

The Gunners graduate was substituted in the 69th minute, but his indirect assist was the reason why the Three Lions managed to take the game to extra-time.

Harry Kane bagged the winner in the 104th minute after a controversial penalty. His spot-kick was saved by Kasper Schmeichel, but he scored off the rebound.

Several Gunners fans were delighted for the young winger, who was initially not fancied to make the starting line-up for the Euros.

Twitter reactions:

Can’t believe I was worrying over whether Saka would even be in the squad and now his efforts have helped us into a final. https://t.co/InK5YCB0Tw
