Kai Havertz couldn't help but gush over the incredible performance of his fellow Arsenal teammate, Bukayo Saka, as the two of them led their team to a 2-0 victory over Wolves in their first Premier League match of the season. Havertz was the first to put the Gunners on the scoreboard, but it was Saka's impressive strike in the second half that sealed their win in front of their home fans.
Despite only starting in his second game since the Euro 2024 final, Saka stole the spotlight with his outstanding performance, earning praise from his teammates at the end of the game. Havertz couldn't help but heap praise on the young Englishman, telling Sky Sports, "Saka is unbelievable. There are very few players like him in the world, and he's still so young. He's only going to get better. It's rare to see a young player perform at such a high level week after week."
When asked about the overall team performance, Havertz acknowledged that there was still room for improvement, despite a strong start to the game. "The first 20 minutes were good, we had some good chances. But then we lost control and our press didn't work. However, we defended deep and held our ground very well. We didn't give them many chances, and in the end, we got the three points."
Fellow Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli, who was the only one in the attacking lineup not to score against Wolves, also had high praise for Saka. "We all know the quality of Saka and Kai," he told the BBC. "They are crucial players for us, and we trust them to make a difference in any game."
Looking ahead to their next match against Aston Villa, Martinelli expressed the team's confidence and determination to finally overcome Manchester City, after coming close in the past two seasons. "We believe in ourselves and our abilities, and we will go all out for the win. We know how tough the Premier League is, especially against a team like City, so we're taking it one game at a time."
