Bukayo Saka breaks silence on Arsenal’s vital win against Spurs

Arsenal maintained their top spot in the Premier League with a 3-2 win away against their fierce London rivals, Tottenham Hotspurs.

The Gunners race into a 3-0 lead through a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg headed own goal, Bukayo Saka finish and Kai Havertz header.

The league leaders withstood Spurs’ late pressure after the home sides scored twice through Cristian Romero and an 87th-minute Heung-Min Son penalty.

Despite the pressure, Arsenal held stubbornly to the three goals and moved four points clear of Manchester City.

Commenting on the crucial win, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka said “The last 20 minutes wasn’t nice, but it was worth it!

“We know it is a big derby and they don’t want to lose 3-0 at home. Momentum shifted their way, but I am proud of the boys – we managed to get the three points.

“We needed to be calm and everything was frantic. We showed our level-heads at the end and I am proud of everyone, it was a nice moment – we know what it means to the fans.

“It means everything and it is a massive win for us. We have three to go and we will give it everything.”

On watching the Man City game later today: “Pretty much shower, get on the bus and hope for the best. We know City are an amazing team, but they are not perfect we just need to do our job.

“There is not much room for error and we have experience now from last year and we are ready for the last three games.”

On lessons from last season: “We showed that today. Maybe last season that could have ended in a draw and we showed we have the experience.”

On his goal: “Of course it is really nice and hope I can continue breaking records like this.”
