Critics aren’t laughing anymore: Bukayo Saka hits back

Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka said that Arsenal's critics were "not laughing at us anymore" as the club celebrated their first English Premier League title in more than two decades.

Arsenal players and staff had gathered at the club's London Colney training ground on Tuesday to watch closest challengers Manchester City draw 1-1 away to Bournemouth.

The result gave Arsenal an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the table with just Sunday's final round of matches remaining. As the Arsenal squad relished the club's first EPL title since 2004, there were also joyous scenes at the north London side's Emirates Stadium, where thousands of supporters gathered to mark the occasion by lighting fireworks and flares.

"Let me tell you something. [For] 22 years, they [critics] were laughing, they were joking. [But now] they're not laughing anymore," said Saka said in video posted by defender Jurrien Timber on his Instagram account.
