Jesus and Saka in form already

It was normal service resumed for Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka in the first half as the duo did as they pleased.

Jesus produced a superb moment of brilliance as he opened the scoring with an impressive chip, while Saka was unplayable as he tormented the All-Stars’ defense. Saka had a hand in both first-half goals as he set up Jesus and then Trossard as he did as he pleased.

Yes, it is only preseason, but Jesus and Saka already look set to take on Nottingham Forest in the season opener.
