Bukayo Saka has revealed what Declan Rice said to him immediately after Sunday's victory against Manchester United by Arsenal.
After joining the England team in advance of their Euro qualifiers, Saka has been chatting with talkSPORT.
Arsenal has had an outstanding start to the season, winning three of their first four Premier League matches. On Sunday, Rice finally scored the game-winning goal as Arsenal defeated United 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
The 24-year-old's late goal in added time made it 2-1 for the Gunners before Gabriel Jesus sealed the victory.
Rice scored his first goal while wearing an Arsenal jersey after transferring from West Ham in the summer. Saka further asserts that Rice was completely floored by the "crazy" environment at the Emirates Stadium.
Saka was questioned by talkSPORT about the moment 'Rice Rice Baby' reverberated around the Emirates on Sunday after Arsenal's newest acquisition scored the game-winning goal.
“Yeah, that was amazing man,” Saka said. “I think I’ve watched his goal back over 20 times.
“It was an unbelievable moment for him, his family and even the stadium. He even told me that the Emirates is crazy when he felt the atmosphere.
“He’s right, it’s really special to play there so I’m just happy that he’s happy. He’s performing and obviously, he got his first goal so I don’t think there’s a better moment for him to get his first goal. I’m happy for him.”
