Once, twice, three times: The strange Bukayo Saka Wolves contract statistic as England man nets at Molineux
It seems there is something about Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and scoring against Wolves - especially when he has penned a new deal.
No sooner had it been confirmed that the England international had signed a new five year deal at Arsenal - he was opening the scoring for the Gunners in their clash with Wolves.
Saka got on the end of a Declan Rice after five minutes - as Wolves endured a nightmare start at Molineux.
And a freaky statistic emerged that showed how Saka's contract announcement could not have come at a worse time for Wolves.
Saka penned a deal back in 2020 - and in the next game after signing on the dotted line he scored for Arsenal against Wolves in a 2-0 win at Molineux.
And then in 2023 - Saka penned a new deal and the next game he scored against - Wolves.
It may be some time before he pens another one but Wolves will hope the fixture list is kinder to them on that occasions.
