The 19-year-old Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka expressed himself after bagging his first-ever goal for England on Wednesday.

Bukayo Saka said that his goal for England versus Austria on Wednesday was the biggest moment in his career so far. 

In a friendly fixture at Wembley, the Arsenal winger grabbed the match-winning and the only goal in the 56th minute. This also marked the debut of his senior international career for the Three Lions.

After a satisfying season with the Gunners, Saka was included in the roster for England’s Euro 2020 campaign.

“Probably the biggest moment of my career so far. The biggest moment was getting called up for England the first time and now to score the goal it sounds nice. It’s an amazing feeling for me,” Saka told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“You dream of that as a kid, scoring for your country, coming through the age groups with England. So to now do it here and score for the seniors, it’s an amazing feeling. And I hope I can have this feeling many more times.”

“Every game is an opportunity to grow in confidence and chemistry with my teammates. So today is another step in the right direction.”

“It’s a big honour to be named in the final squad, grateful to Gareth [Southgate, England manager], happy that I get the opportunity to represent my country in a major tournament so I’m looking forward to it a lot.”
