Saka: I Trust My Teammates, and Such Decisions Are Always Against Us
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka appeared in a press statement after the 2-1 victory over Newcastle in the sixth round of the Premier League.
The player said in his talk: "The winning goal in stoppage time? It's unbelievable... There is no better feeling in football than scoring a winning goal at the last moment. I'm speechless, and very happy."
Regarding watching the match from the bench, he said: "It's tough when you're on the bench and can't control the course of the match; it's a difficult feeling. But when you have a player like Merino and the great Gabriel, I put my full trust in my teammates, and we achieved victory today."
He concluded about the cancellation of the penalty awarded to Gyokeres: "There are some things we can talk about, like the penalty. For me, if we have VAR, it is to correct obvious and serious mistakes, and the fact that the referee took so long to make a decision means that the mistake was not clear and serious. These things are always against us, but today we got what we deserved, and that's why we are very happy. It doesn't matter now, does it?"
