SAK: WE WON'T LOOK BAK

BUKAYO SAKA says the pain of Arsenal's title blow-out last season has driven their "beautiful challenge" of going one step further this year.

But the Gunners may need to anaesthetise the crushing disappointment of another near-miss on the last day of term if Manchester City abide by their usual standards of brinkmanship.

England winger Saka has contributed the most goals (16), assists (nine) and touches in the opposition box (280) in Arsenal's latest climb to the Premier League summit.

And they 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 instead of bottling the last twist of the rollercoaster or being frustrated by the outcome being out of their hands.

He said: "You can see it in two ways: You can either view it as frustrating or as a beautiful challenge.
