Saka honours Henry with goal celebration against Aston Villa
Saka helped the Gunners beat Aston Villa 4-2 in a dramatic encounter at Villa Park
Nigeria-born Arsenal star Bukayo Saka confirmed that his most recent goal celebration was a tribute to Thierry Henry.
Saka helped the Gunners beat Aston Villa 4-2 in a dramatic encounter at Villa Park as he was the one that equalised after Ollie Watkins' early opener.
The winger then celebrated by placing his right hand on the corner flag and his left on his hip while basking in his glory.
That was the same celebration Arsenal's record goalscorer Henry would often use while playing for the North Londoners and France.
The England international took to Twitter after the final whistle and confirmed it was a nod to the legendary forward, whom he called "the king".
Saka tweeted: "Honouring the king."
