Our win against West Ham United was extra special for Bukayo Saka, as he scored on his 200th Premier League appearance.
The winger featured in the English top-flight for the first time on New Year’s Day 2019, and has brought up the double century just under six years later. Still aged on 24, he is the sixth-youngest player in our history to hit this figure, and the second in the Premier League era, only behind Cesc Fabregas:
Date | Player | Age |
|---|---|---|
Dec 1934 | Cliff Bastin | 22y, 262d |
May 1979 | Liam Brady | 23y, 81d |
Sep 1981 | David O'Leary | 23y, 133d |
Oct 1970 | John Radford | 23y, 237d |
Apr 1968 | George Armstrong | 23y, 241d |
Jan 2011 | Cesc Fabregas | 23y, 242d |
Oct 2025 | Bukayo Saka | 24y, 29d |
Bukayo's 200 games consist of 181 starts and 19 substitute appearances, and total 115 wins, 41 draws and 44 losses. He is the 18th Arsenal player to achieve this milestone in the Premier League era, and the 79th overall in our history to feature in 200 league matches.Â
When it comes to Premier League history, Bukayo is again sixth on the list when it comes to the youngest players to reach a double ton since the division was created in 1992, and the fastest since his former teammate Raheem Sterling did it in October 2018:
Â
Player | Age | Year 200th Game |
|---|---|---|
Wayne Rooney | 22y, 34d | Â 2008 |
James Milner | 23y, 104d | Â 2009 |
Cesc Fabregas | 23y, 242d | Â 2011 |
Gareth Barry | 23y, 307d | Â 2004 |
Raheem Sterling | 23y, 325d | Â 2018 |
Joe Cole | 24y, 11d | Â 2005 |
Bukayo Saka | 24y, 29d | Â 2025 |
In that time, Bukayo has netted 55 times and provided 45 assists, meaning his penalty against the Hammers took him to 100 goal involvements in 200 games.Â
West Ham are his favourite opponents to have played against in the Premier League, having scored more goals against them than any other club (5), as well as laying on four more assists for his teammates - only against Southampton does he have more (5).
Since he first appeared against Fulham back in January 2019, only eight players have registered more goals and assists in the division than Bukayo.
Player  | Goals  | Assists  | Goals+Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
Mohamed Salah | 141 | 71 | 212 |
Son Heung-Min | 90 | 54 | 144 |
Kevin De Bruyne | 50 | 75 | 125 |
Harry Kane | 92 | 29 | 121 |
Bruno Fernandes | 64 | 51 | 115 |
Erling Haaland | 93 | 17 | 110 |
Ollie Watkins | 76 | 34 | 110 |
Jamie Vardy | 77 | 26 | 103 |
Bukayo Saka | 55 | 45 | 100 |
Bukayo becomes the eighth Arsenal player to reach 100 goal involvements in the competition, and the third Englishman after Ian Wright (123) and Theo Walcott (108). He is the seventh-youngest player across the league to hit that feat, and the youngest since Romelu Lukaku in February 2017.
Thierry Henry | 249 |
Dennis Bergkamp | 181 |
Robin van Persie | 135 |
Ian Wright | 123 |
Theo Walcott | 108 |
Cesc Fabregas | 105 |
Robert Pires | 103 |
Bukayo Saka | 100 |
Before Bukayo celebrated hitting 200 in the perfect fashion, Thierry Henry had been the only Gunner out of the 18 to have reached 200 matches to have scored on that landmark, netting a brace against Crystal Palace in February 2005.
