Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has now achieved an incredibly impressive record in the Premier League after his assist against Burnley yesterday.

Saka is now the only Arsenal player in Premier League history to score or assist against every side he’s faced in the competition.

The midfielder’s assist against Burnley means he has now contributed to a goal against all 24 of the sides he’s faced in the league.

That was a stat shared on X by football data expert Harvey Downes.

Of course, when you consider the players that have come before Saka at Arsenal, it’s a mind blowing statistic.

And the England international was even slightly unfortunate not to bag a goal for his troubles as well in the first half.

Much like the rest of the Arsenal team, Saka has looked incredibly energised in these two comeback victories at the Emirates this week.

And heading into the international break, it seems those two losses on the road have now been firmly left behind for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Saka set a new Premier League record for Arsenal against Burnley yesterday

Of course, it certainly wasn’t just Saka that impressed for Arsenal against Burnley yesterday.

Mikel Arteta thought Jorginho was ‘outstanding’ in his role, a player who is now becoming incredibly important to this Arsenal side.

Moreover, Ian Wright was one of many celebrating the excellent game William Saliba had at both ends of the pitch yesterday.

It certainly was a feel good win for The Gunners, even if it wasn’t as straightforward as hoped. 

But with all those missing this week, Mikel Arteta has surely learned a lot about his extended squad, and particularly about Leandro Trossard.

The Belgian was in fine form once again against Burnley, and looks to get the best out of his Arsenal teammates Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

And Arteta will now have a decision to make when Arsenal travel to Brentford after the international break.

Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus seem likely to be fit for the game, and the Arsenal boss will be blessed with stronger options once again.
