Saka Hits Century as Arsenal Defeat West Ham
Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League table with a composed 2–0 win over West Ham — and the match will be remembered for two very different milestones involving Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard.
Saka Reaches 100 G/A in the Premier League
Let’s start with the landmark: at just 24 years and 29 days old, Bukayo Saka became only the second player in Premier League history to reach 100 goal contributions (goals + assists) at such a young age — after Romelu Lukaku achieved the feat back in 2017.
Saka sealed the victory with a tidy finish in the 67th minute, his 200th Premier League appearance marking yet another chapter in what’s quickly becoming a legendary career at the Emirates.
