Bukayo Saka and Arsenal stars hit back at critics
Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly have hit back at critics of the Arsenal team that secured the Premier League title after a 22-year drought. Mikel Arteta's men had been labeled "bottlers" for falling short in the final stages in recent years. This is reported by Goal.com .
Arsenal's long-awaited victory was confirmed after Manchester City dropped points against Bournemouth. The event sparked massive celebrations in North London and at the club's training base. For Saka and Lewis-Skelly, this win was the perfect response to those who claimed they could not handle the pressure at the end of the season.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Lewis-Skelly held a bottle of champagne and joked: "They called us bottlers, and now we are holding the winning trophy!" With this, the young midfielder put an end to the mockery directed at the team.
Saka also shared his thoughts via Jurrien Timber's social media channel. After finishing second for three consecutive seasons, the England international emphasized that it was now their turn to laugh. "For 22 years they laughed at us, but now no one is laughing. Look, the trophy is shining right here," the forward said.
The joyous scenes at the London Colney training ground marked the biggest historical event since the "Invincibles" season of 2003-04. As the players celebrated inside, the legendary Ian Wright sang victory songs with thousands of fans outside Emirates Stadium.
