Erling Haaland has set a new record by scoring 50 goals in his first 50 Premier League starts, the highest in the competition's history. Bukayo Saka, the youngest player to score 50 goals for Arsenal, contributed to Arsenal's 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United, with Saka himself scoring twice and providing an assist. His season tally now stands at 10 goals and 8 assists. Arsenal's set-piece strength was on display, with William Saliba scoring from a corner, one of the team's 15 set-piece goals this season, excluding penalties.
🔴⚪️ Bukayo Saka has now scored 10 goals in Premier League this season + 8 assists completed. #AFC star in excellent form, last 5 games ⤵️ vs Fulham ⚽️ vs Crystal Palace 👟 vs Nottingham Forest ⚽️ vs Liverpool ⚽️ vs West Ham ⚽️⚽️ https://t.co/XxOGoPy8dL
Great reverse near-post finish from Saka. A finish that is underrated and seemingly on the rise in the Premier League, as I wrote about recently. 👇 https://t.co/s66fJIROye https://t.co/DrxmElIVkA
#whufc 0-5 #afc Saka cuts onto his left foot and fires in another. An absolute rout.
Nice move inside the box sparked by Odegaard finding Havertz. He backheeled to Saka but his shot was saved by Areola
Should be 5-0. Martinelli runs up the left and cuts back to Trossard who balloons his shot high and wide
50 Arsenal goals for Bukayo Saka. A reminder that he’s still only 22 ✨ https://t.co/7j6JJcr2cH
#whufc 0-4 #afc Brilliant finish from Trossard. Odegaard finds him in space, Trossard works it onto his right foot and curls a fine shot past Areola. Arsenal making a real statement here.
Saka makes it 2-0 from the spot. He becomes the youngest player to score 50 goals for @Arsenal #COYG
#whufc 0-2 #afc Saka scores from the spot after Areola brought him down.
𝟭𝟱 𝘀𝗲𝘁-𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 No Premier League side has scored more from set pieces, excluding penalties, than Arsenal this season 🎯 https://t.co/YoC0VEZu5i
Amazing chance created by Odegaard. Super quick feet to get the ball into Saka who chips just wide
Should be 2-0. Saka has two headers in the space of a minute. One from an Odegaard cross is fluffed. The second from a Kiwior cross is headed wide
1-0 Arsenal! Couple of blocks from White and Kiwior sees Saliba get a jump on his marker at the back post. 11th set piece goal this season. So many games now where Arsenal are solid but uninspiring on the ball - and a set piece is the difference.
BOOOOOO (🤣🤣) M! 0-1. Great corner assist by Rice, smart finish by Saliba. #WHUARS
#whufc 0-1 #afc Rice's corner finds Saliba at the back post and he nods in.
Great ball out to Martinelli from Trossard who puts the ball across the six-yard box but Odegaard is just too far away to get a touch
Another Arsenal attack down the right. This time Martinelli floats the ball over to Trossard who connects with his volley well. Areola matches him with a great save
Best chance of the game missed by Trossard. Brilliant ball in by Saka but he got too much on his header. Just had to glance it. All started from Saliba driving out and then staying there to pull West Ham’s shape apart.
Saliba does well to calm Arsenal down on the ball. They attack down the right, with Saka crossing into the box but Trossard heads over
