In the 4th round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2-0 away. Saka, who scored in the match, spoke to the club's official media after the game.

Bukayo, did you enjoy tonight's game?
Yes, it was a very, very important victory. I really enjoyed it. It was a tough game. David's crucial save and Bruno's key performance were very important; they really changed the game and helped us win. So I'm very happy for the team.
Those two minutes between the penalty save and the first goal seemed to be the real turning point of the match. That's what football is all about, right? The team can create these magical moments at crucial times.
Yes, absolutely. Since the beginning of the season, we've had contributions from everyone—not just the starters, but also the substitutes. Bruno showed that today, and so did others. We'll continue to work together as a whole, and that will be a very important source of strength for us this season.
Did you see Bruno's goal? What was the view like?
It was brilliant. The way he finished, I really enjoyed it. And the celebration—everything was great. That was a very important and brilliant moment for him. He deserves it all. He's a top player.
This has also been an important week for the club. We returned from Italy just three days ago and then immediately played another high-intensity match. Does this reflect the strength of the squad?
Absolutely. This was a very important week for us. We've done a lot of travelling. People outside may not understand how tough it's been behind the scenes. But I'm very satisfied with how we've handled it all. To win three very, very difficult matches is fantastic for us. Credit to the team, the coaching staff, and everyone. We have to keep going because it's not over yet.
You scored a goal yourself. Are you also happy to get another goal from the penalty spot?
Yes, I'm glad I was able to score at the end, so I'm happy.
Finally, the team has won all six games this season and conceded only one goal. Do you think the team is making more progress than last season?
Absolutely. And I think we're still growing, yes, 100%, because some players didn't even participate in pre-season. So we're still gradually getting into shape and finding our full rhythm. I think we will continue to improve. But we have to stay grounded. I know we've won six games, but we want to maintain this momentum.
I don't know if you're aware, but I'll mention one last statistic: you equalled Robert Pires' Arsenal goal tally today, achieving another small milestone.
Thank you, thank you. I love hearing about these milestones, so I'm very happy.
