"I couldn't believe it. They told me yesterday [about 300 appearances] and I was shocked. I just feel so happy right now, I feel blessed, I feel joy to wear the armband for this club and make 300 appearances, pick up a massive win, you know. I'm happy, just continue moving like this."
"This feels like a massive win for us. We didn't know the score [of the City match] but we heard the fans celebrating out of nowhere, so I kind of knew something went well in the other games. But we just stayed focused, got the result and we feel good about it."
Bukayo Saka marked his 300th appearance for Arsenal by scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 victory against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. His low, curling effort in the ninth minute deflected off Carlos Baleba before entering the net. At 24 years and 180 days old, Saka became the fourth-youngest player in Arsenal's history to reach 300 appearances. The win proved crucial as Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League following Manchester City's unexpected 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Saka expressed feeling blessed and joyful about the milestone and the team's performance, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus and securing vital results.
