It was an unusual moment as Saka seemed to be hauled down by Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta, while another angle showed the England forward holding the Spaniard’s arm.
Saka admitted that Azpilicueta is bound to be angry about the situation. “No, I’m trying to get in the box and he’s holding me for about five seconds,” Saka told Sky Sports.
