EPL: Arsenal’s Saka lauds their humiliating performance against Iwobi’s Everton

Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka hailed their performance for victory over Everton.

Saka scored and laid on an assist in last night’s 4-0 rout.

Saka said: “I’m really happy. We went there a few weeks ago and we lost, so we knew going into the game how difficult it would be. To score four goals and play like that, we can be so proud of ourselves.

“I think [his goal] was my first chance of the game. It was the breakthrough. After setting I just had to focus on my touches, turning my body and myself, [going on] my right foot and finishing. I looked up and it was in the net, so I was happy.

“I’m happy [to hit double figures], it’s something I always set myself to try and improve. I’m hungry to achieve more.”

Reflecting on his assist for Gabriel Martinelli, he chuckled: “I looked at Gabi; we looked at each other. We sort of said to each other that it was offside and went to continue the game. So we saw that it wasn’t, it was a big relief and we were happy to go in 2-0 up.

“We’re all chipping in and we’re all doing our best for the team because it’s always better like that. We’re happy with that.”

On the importance of the win, he also told arsenal.com: “Definitely, because it gives us a bigger gap. We know that this game has [passed] now and we focus on Saturday because if we don’t win there, tonight’s win will have been for nothing. That’s our focus now.”
