Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has reacted to his wonder strike against Manchester United.
The Gunners oversaw a crucial 3-2 win to further cement their place atop the Premier League and increase their hopes of lifting the title, which grows more likely with every match that passes.
Their mentality throughout the game was second to none, as the winning goal from Eddie Nketiah came in the 90th minute after the Red Devils had matched them stride for stride throughout the meeting.
Academy graduate Saka poked his team ahead in the 53rd minute with an emphatic finish outside the box. It marked the Englishman’s seventh goal of the season, which has undoubtedly been the best of his career so far.
