VIDEO: Phil Foden shows off insane darts skills in England camp to leave Bukayo Saka stunned
Manchester City's Phil Foden and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka have put their Premier League rivalry aside to enjoy playing some darts while on England international duty
Phil Foden left Bukayo Saka stunned as he showed off his incredible darts skills by hitting a bullseye on request.
The two England talents were enjoying their downtime following the Three Lions’ 4-0 Euro qualifiers win over Malta.
The pair may have been teammates on Friday night, but competed for much of the 2022/23 Premier League season as Foden’s Manchester City came from behind to pip Arsenal to the title in the final weeks.
And their competitive edge came to the forefront again in a TikTok posted by the Arsenal No.7 on Saturday.
Foden was readying himself to throw a dart before being challenged by Saka, who said: “Can you get a bullseye mate?”
Without bothering to reply, Foden instantly hit the bull on his first attempt, leaving his awe-stricken friend to say: “Oh my God," after a few seconds of silence.
Foden initially played it cool by walking away with a smile on his face, before the pair both burst into laughter and high-fived each other.
Fans on Twitter predictably responded by comparing the two youngsters' footballing ability, though others were happy to see their friendship blossom despite intense competition throughout the season.
“This is why football tribalism <<<<,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another tweeted: “Lovely stuff,” while a third added: “I love the friendship and brotherhood the England team have.”

And a fourth commented: “These fanboys go at each other’s necks everyday meanwhile the players probably couldn’t care less.”
Saka has 27 England caps and has notched eight goals for Gareth Southgate’s side.
He is currently ahead of Foden in the pecking order for the right-wing position, with the 23-year-old City man having 24 caps and three goals to his name.
