Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has admitted he was confused by Gabriel Jesus’ failure to celebrate after his team’s late goal against Wolves. The Gunners continued their challenge for the title by defeating the club at the bottom of the Premier League 2-1.<\/p>\n
Arsenal took the lead through Sam Johnstone’s own goal, but Tolu Alokodare equalized late on. However, Mikel Arteta’s side still had a final game in hand as Jelson Mosquera nodded home Saca’s late cross to seal a dramatic victory.<\/p>\n
It initially looked like Brazilian forward Jesus had found the decisive touch, but Saka was troubled by the striker’s lack of celebration. After his team’s victory, the English player said:<\/p>\n
“I didn’t understand why Gaby (Jesus) didn’t celebrate. I thought he scored, but I think it was an own goal. Still, it felt great to win at the last minute. We’ve conceded goals at the last minute a few times this season, so it was nice to come back tonight.”<\/p>\n

“It shows our character and that we don’t give up until the end. We also have to make sure the team understands that it’s tough coming here because we’re at the Emirates. I think we’ve shown that this season and we showed it tonight.”<\/p>\n
“Obviously I’m happy with the three points, but I was a little disappointed with the way we played and how we almost dropped points, but we didn’t. So let’s get the points and move on.”<\/p>\n
Arsenal’s win over Wolves left them five points clear at the top of the Premier League, but Manchester City could reduce that advantage against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Gunners will now have to wait a week for their next game, with a trip to Everton scheduled for next weekend.<\/p>\n

And Saka is grateful for the break amid a busy schedule of matches. He added: “It’s going to be great. We’ve had a really, really busy schedule. We’ve been working very hard and credit to all the players and staff, but we’ve been working on it and we’ve had some great results.”<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to have some time off, but it’s not time to relax. It’s just time to reset a bit and get back into the training session next week to prepare for the game against Everton.”<\/p>\n
