What did Arsenal starboy Bukayo Saka say?
Saka mentioned that Arsenal’s 2-1 comeback win against Newcastle United last month made him feel confident that the Gunners can win the league this season.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Saka spoke about Arsenal’s past record against Newcastle at St James’ Park and said,
“In the past, those type of games, Newcastle away, we’ve never really got a good result and this year we did,” as per The Mirror.
“I think it’s a bit early to talk about ‘our year.’ We’re still in October. Of course, I’ve been in a title race for the last three years now, finished second in all of them… What I’ve learned is that now is not so important. It’s in April, that’s when you need to be there and try and be (in) first place.”
“Now it’s about staying in and around it, building your momentum and then going on a run of performances. It’s still a bit early to talk about winning the title based off a few results that in the past haven’t gone our way.”
Saka found the back of the net in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on October 29, at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners will now return to Premier League action in their upcoming match against Burnley on November 1 at Turf Moor.
