🥈 Bukayo Saka joins PL and Three Lions royalty with latest assist | OneFootball

Arsenal are just 45 minutes away from a vital result in their Premier League clash against Burnley at the Emirates, and, once again, Bukayo Saka has risen to the challenge.

Across a dominant first-half in the capital, Mikel Arteta's Gunners would not break the deadlock until the 37th minute when Kai Havertz rose highest in the box to head home past Max Weiss after getting on the end of Saka's corner to send the home support into rapture.

For Saka, it's been a season where his goal contributions have often come into question despite his fitness woes, but the England international has stepped up of late, and his first-half assist tonight leaves him sitting alongside one of the nation's best-ever players.

With his well-placed corner, Saka (24 years and 255 days) becomes the second youngest player in Premier League history to reach 50+ goals and 50+ assists.

The man he sits behind? None other than Wayne Rooney (24 years, 84 days).

Should he remain fit and firing, Saka will no doubt once again have the spotlight shine on him this summer at the 2026 World Cup.
