Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has thanked fans for their support after his injury return on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old made his first appearance since December when he came on as a substitute in the Gunners' win 2-1 over Fulham at the Emirates.

Saka received a rousing reception from supporters when he entered the pitch and showed just what the side had been missing by scoring seven minutes later - going to thank backroom staff who helped him during his recovery after he celebrated.

The England international posted on social media on Wednesday to show his gratitude and said: "I have to acknowledge and thank you all for the energy and love you showed me last night.

"I've never seen or felt anything like what I felt at the Emirates last night.

"I will never forget that. Truly grateful!"
