Bukayo Saka sends message to Tottenham fans after classy gesture in Arsenal clash

  Arsenal faced Tottenham in a pre-season friendly game on Sunday and suffered a 1-0 defeat as Son Heung-min scored the only goal of the game for Spurs. During the game, when Bukayo Saka was subbed on, Spurs fans put rivalries aside and greeted the Gunners youngster, as this was his first appearance after being racially abused following his penalty miss in the EURO 2020 final shootout against Italy. Spurs fans also unveiled a banner which read "North London stands with Bukayo Saka and all players against racism and discrimination". Tottenham's official Instagram account posted a video of Saka with a caption: "Rivalries aside. What a moment this was this afternoon. 💙@bukayosaka87."
