We need this break ahead of Everton test, says Saka

BUKAYO Saka said Arsenal must “reset” during their rare seven-day break after a “disappointing” performance as they staggered to a late win against Wolves.

Mikel Arteta’s side needed two Wolves own goals - one of them arriving in the fourth minute of stoppage time - to snatch a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium and ensure they ended the weekend still at the summit of the Premier League.

Arsenal have played seven times in 21 days but now have a week off before facing Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

“It's been a really, really busy schedule,” said Saka. “Credit to all the boys and the staff because we've been so intense, but we've been on it and we've had some amazing results.

“It's nice that we have a bit of a break, but it's not time to relax, it's just a time to reset a bit and then go again next week in the training sessions and be ready for Everton."

Arsenal looked to have allowed Wolves earn just their third point of the season when Tolu Arokodare equalised in the 90th minute.

However, Yerson Mosquera put through his own net to spare Arsenal's blushes and keep their Premier League charge on track.

Arsenal's late victory arrived a week after Aston Villa scored a stoppage-time winner to end an 18-match unbeaten run for Arteta's players.
