Bukayo Saka thrilled to mark new deal with first Arsenal goal

Bukayo Saka was thrilled to score in Arsenal's victory over Wolves.

Saka insists he will remember this week for his "whole life" after he celebrated his new Arsenal contract with his first Premier League goal in a 2-0 win against Wolves.

"It has been a week I will remember for my whole life," Saka told Sky Sports. "It's been a great week, not just for me but for the Arsenal fans.

"You can see the manager is building and that I can tie down my future here."

The win pushed Arsenal above Sheffield United and into seventh place - just six points of Manchester United in fourth.

Asked how big the result was, Saka said: "It is very big. We know how good Wolves are; we knew how tough it was going to be.

"We fought for every ball, every duel, and we're so delighted to get the win - our fourth in a row - and it is good to build some momentum."
