Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka admits it's exciting being seven points clear at the top of the table.

Saka struck in Saturday's 4-2 win at Brighton.

He said: "[It] sounds amazing. Of course at the start of the season if you asked us if we wanted this we would bite your hand off. We are really happy.

"It is a great opportunity we have - a great place we have put ourselves in. We are not focusing on that now. We are focusing on the next game because we know how well Newcastle have been playing."

On his side's quick start, with Saka scoring in the second minute, he added: "There was big emphasis. We know how hard it is to come here and the weather as well - it wasn't easy. That goal nice and early set us up. I couldn't believe it fell for me. I just had to try and show some composure."
