Bukayo Saka teases Arsenal training ground ‘secrets’ ahead of title run-in

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has teased the "secrets" to the Gunners' remarkable title charge.

Sunday's 4-1 win over Crystal Palace was the Gunners' fifth in a row as they built up an eight-point gap over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, who were busy reaching the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend.

Saka scored twice and assisted another for the first time in a game this season, bringing his league tally for goals and assists into double figures for the campaign.

Ben White, who is impressing at right-back this season, played a key role in the London derby win, Arsenal's ninth of the season, and Saka says Arsenal's right flank is thriving.

"We’re really happy," Saka said after the game. "We’ve won five games in a row now which is very difficult to do in this league. We’ve built some good momentum, winning games, playing really well.

"Ben White was incredible today, he’s been incredible this season, and we’re building a great partnership – me, him and Martin [Odegaard] on that right side.

"Of course, I’m not going to tell you the secrets, what we work on in the training ground, but I’m enjoying playing with them."

Arsenal are next in action at home to Leeds on April 1.
