What does Bukayo Saka's celebration mean? | The Sun

BUKAYO SAKA continued his excellent goal-scoring form with another goal against Everton last night.

The England star opened up the scoring with an emphatic finish, beating England teammate Jordan Pickford at his front post.

Saka's goal helped the Gunners to a 4-0 win over Everton, taking them five points clear of Man City in second.

Why does Bukayo Saka hold the corner flag during his celebration?

During Saka's goal celebration, the 21-year-old clutched the corner flag and placed his other hand on his hip as he stares back at the jubilant Arsenal fans.

The winger revealed that the celebration is actually a homage to Gunners legend Thierry Henry.

Saka revealed this after doing the same celebration during Arsenal's 4-2 win a Villa park earlier in the season.

Did Bukayo Saka copy Marcus Rashford's celebration?

Marcus Rashford is in a rich vain of goalscoring form, with 14 Premier League goals so far this season.

After scoring, the Mancunian celebrates goals by pointing to his temple.

This is to indicate that the forward is in a better head space under Eric Ten Hag after struggles with form under previous managers.

Saka adopted the same celebration when the electric winger scored in Arsenal's 3-2 win over the Red Devils in January.
