Saka branded ‘savage’ for copying Tottenham star’s celebration v Spurs – and it’s not first time Arsenal ace has done it


ARSENAL fans hailed Bukayo Saka a “savage” after the winger used James Maddison’s celebration against Tottenham.

Saka, 22, contributed to the Gunners’ opening goal on Sunday after his shot was turned in by Cristian Romero.

While a fourth wrote: “Bukayo Saka hitting the James Maddison celebration in a North London Derby is ELITE.”

Some fans were also quick to point out that Saka also copied Marcus Rashford’s trademark celebration after scoring against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium last season.

Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 26th minute of the match, but they only had an advantage for 16 minutes.

Just before half time, Maddison broke past Saka on the left before cutting inside and setting the ball to Son Heung-min, who fired the Lilywhites level.

Arsenal were handed a huge blow before kick-off when Mikel Arteta revealed that Leandro Trossard was unavailable due to injury.

The Gunners also had to line-up without Gabriel Martinelli, who picked up a hamstring injury against Everton last weekend.
