Bukayo Saka responds to Tottenham crowd as new footage captures perfect reaction
Bukayo Saka had a perfect response to taunts from the Tottenham crowd during the North London Derby. He delivered an exquisite cross to help Arsenal open the scoring and went on to claim a 3-2 victory.
The Gunners scored their first goal in the 15th minute when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg headed into his own net from Saka’s corner. Saka later turned goalscorer with a neat finish, and Kai Havertz extended their lead with a headed goal before half time.
Tottenham fought back with goals from Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min. Saka, subjected to antagonizing chants from the Spurs crowd, responded to the enraged supporters early in the first half after assisting the opener.
During the game, Saka jogged towards his celebrating teammates and then turned back towards the Spurs crowd, cupping his ear, prompting jeers from those who had taunted him beforehand. The incident, shared online, left Arsenal supporters in hysterics.
Declan Rice also responded to shouts from the crowd, assisting Havertz’s goal and celebrating towards the Tottenham supporters as Arsenal continued to exploit their expertise from set-pieces.
