Saka's goal helped Arsenal win: "I feel very proud and very happy."

In the 30th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Arsenal star Bukayo Saka scored a goal, helping his team defeat Brighton 1-0.

In this match, Saka made his 300th appearance for the first team and helped extend the team's lead in the standings to 7 points. After the game, Saka gave an exclusive interview, generously sharing his excitement about this special night and details of his goal.

At 24 years and 180 days old, Saka became the fourth youngest player in the team's history to reach 300 appearances, and he couldn't hide his pride and joy. In the interview, he first expressed his gratitude to his family and the team: "I feel very proud and very happy."

"This is not only my good fortune, but also an incredibly wonderful day for me and my family. Best of all, we were able to finish the season perfectly with a crucial victory and a goal, for which I am filled with gratitude."

Speaking about his goal just nine minutes into the game, Saka revealed his quick self-adjustment on the field. He admitted that it was due to a change in mentality: "Before the goal, there was a moment when I handled the ball, and I felt that I could have been more decisive and direct."

"So the next time I got the ball, I told myself I had to break through directly and go all out. And I did, resolutely cutting inside and taking the shot. To be honest, at first I didn't even know how the ball went in, but a goal is a goal, and we'll take all three points!"

This victory is crucial for Arsenal to solidify their top spot in the league. When asked about the team's current hot streak, Saka attributed the success to the team's fighting spirit and expressed optimism for the future: "This is the result of our hard work. We won the game as we hoped, and everyone feels fantastic."
