BUKAYO SAKA says the pain of Arsenal's title blowout last season has driven their "beautiful challenge" of going one step further this year.
England winger Saka has starred with the most goals (16), assists (nine) and touches in the opposition box (280) in the Gunners' latest climb to the Premier League summit, although champions Manchester City are just one point behind with a game in hand.
Arsenal know the title race will go to the final day if they beat crisis-torn Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
But Saka insists they are relishing the white-knuckle ride, rather than getting frustrated that the outcome is not in their hands.
He said: "You can see it in two ways: You can either view it as frustrating or as a beautiful challenge. Everybody knows they [City] are one of the best teams in the world and they have been on top for five years, challenging for everything, so for ourselves to be up there competing with them is good.
