This PSV-Arsenal (1-1) was ultimately not without sporting challenges. At least, for Johan Bakayoko. Already assured of finishing second in Group B with PSV Eindhoven, the Red Devil took the opportunity to leave his business card with those who did not yet know him, particularly in England.
Replaced in the 74th minute, the Overijse player put on a real technical recital, completing five dribbles and humiliating Jakub Kiwior shortly before his replacement. “He terrorized Kiwior, the only Arsenal player really in trouble. He demonstrated why so many clubs are interested in his profile,” explains Sky Sports, describing the Red Devil as an “exciting talent”, while recalling that Tottenham have had him on their radar since last summer.
For its part, the Guardian speaks of a “20-year-old player with a promise of something big.” And the Sun added: “The fact that he is only 20 is almost frightening.”
Most media gave Bakayoko an 8/10 and man of the match status for his performance, even though he was not involved in Vertessen’s goal. Eurosport even raises the stakes to 9/10.
