Bukayo Saka has seen many magical moments at Arsenal over the years.
The Hale End star has produced some of them himself, and having been a fan of the club since he was a kid, he would’ve watched many former Arsenal stars deliver at the Emirates.
Earlier this week, however, Saka was lost for words because of another magical moment. This time, it was produced by Eberechi Eze.
Agree or disagree: Eberechi Eze just scored Arsenal’s goal of the season
Bukayo Saka shares how he felt immediately after Eberechi Eze’s screamer vs Bayer Leverkusen
Eze stole the show when Arsenal faced Bayer Leverkusen midweek.
The Gunners needed to beat the German side after drawing the first leg. The pressure was on, but Mikel Arteta’s men made light work of the Bundesliga giants.
Eze opened the scoring with what could easily end up as the goal of the season.
The summer signing picked the ball up outside the box, turned while it was still bouncing and unleashed a fierce strike to give his side the lead.

Everyone who watched that goal was amazed, and Bukayo Saka is no different.
The Gunners’ number seven was asked for his reaction to the strike, and he told Arsenal’s official social channels that he was lost for words.
“You can’t describe that goal, man,” Saka said.
“Speechless! That’s how it left me.”
Did Eberechi Eze’s goal remind you of something? 👀

Eberechi Eze has come to life at the right time for Arsenal
Crystal Palace fans often raved about ‘springtime Eze’ and how he goes up a level at this stage of every single season.
Arsenal supporters did not take that too seriously earlier in the campaign, but they now know what the Eagles’ faithful were all talking about.
Eze has been outstanding for the Gunners in recent weeks and has looked a massive goal threat in and around the box.
That is exactly what Arteta’s side have been missing, and if he continues his form, he could make a big difference for Arsenal in the business end of the season.
The Carabao Cup final against Manchester City is up next for the North Londoners. Eze is expected to start, and if he has a good game, the Gunners will likely come out on top.
