Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka has opened up on getting the captain's armband.

The winger was given the nod to be skipper as his side beat Sheffield United 5-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Saka had never captained the team from the start of a game, but had taken the armband from Martin Odegaard late in a 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

"To be at the front, leading the boys out, was just unbelievable," he said.

"You know me and you know where I've come from - the academy. I'm lost for words - it's hard to describe this feeling, it's just amazing.

"It was a different experience. Obviously I was learning on the job and sometimes I didn't know where I was supposed to be!

"But in the end, we played well, which was the most important thing."
