Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has expressed his delight following the Gunners’ late comeback win over Newcastle United in the Premier League.
The Gunners dominated proceedings in the opening half against the Magpies but goalkeeper Nick Pope pulled off a couple of world-class saves.
Nick Woltemade eventually gave the lead for the Magpies, but Arsenal made a late comeback to pick up maximum points from St James’ Park.
Speaking after the game, Saka said that there is nothing better than a late winner in football, he said: “Unbelievable, nothing better than a late winner in football. Speechless, I’m so happy.”
Arsenal received a huge boost yesterday as Liverpool suffered a late 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace. The Gunners capitalised on this by beating Newcastle.
The Gunners are now just two points ahead of the Merseyside giants and have the opportunity to close the gap further during the next set of fixtures.
Liverpool face Chelsea on the road next weekend. Arsenal, on the other hand, have a London derby against struggling West Ham United at home.
