Bukayo Saka claims that “small things” like VAR always go against Arsenal in the Premier League after they have achieved a dramatic last-minute victory at Newcastle United.
The Gunners had to throw the kitchen at their opponents in St. James’ park on Saturday after they went to a Nick Woltemade header from a corner in the first half.
Mikel Arteta threw on William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli, Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard in search of an equalizer, and it finally bred his fruit in the 84th minute when the Cross of Declan Rice was returned by Merino after a corner routine.
The match was determined by another goal from a corner when Gabriel Magalhães went home from the delivery of Martin Odegaard deep in the stopping time.
“It’s incredible,” Saka told Sky Sports after the full -time whistle. “Late winners, there is nothing better in football. That’s how speechless. I am so happy.
“If you are on the couch and you cannot control and influence the game, but if you have boys like this guy [Merino] – He is a big threat. And clearly large gabi [Gabriel Magalhães]. I have a lot of faith in my teammates and we have the victory. “
Bukayo Saka: Small things like VAR always go against Arsenal
Saka thought that the video review lasted too long before the first decision was considered a clear and obvious.
“The punishment, you know, for me, like if we have VAR for clear and obvious mistakes, and the fact that it took the referee to decide for so long,” said the winger.
“So it is not a clear and obvious mistake, but it is things like this, these little things that always go against us. But I think we have what we certainly deserved today. I was speechless, man. But it doesn’t matter now that we have won now.”
