Man City mock Arsenal over now-deleted social media post – which incorrectly hailed Bukayo Saka as the ONLY player to hold a special record – with champions pointing out Erling Haaland has also achieved the feat

Arsenal were forced to delete a tweet after wrongly claiming that Bukayo Saka was the first player to achieve a Premier League milestone.

Saka enjoyed another hugely impressive season for Arsenal, with the winger registering 16 goals and nine assists in the league.

Arsenal claimed that Saka is the only player in Premier League history to score or assist against every side that he has faced in the division – 25 in total.

However, that proved to be incorrect, with Manchester City star Erling Haaland having also achieved that feat, as did Harry Kane when he was at Tottenham.

City responded to Arsenal’s error by posting a tweet of their own, reflecting on how Haaland has scored or assisted against all 22 of the opponents he has faced in the Premier League.

Arsenal later corrected their post to say that Saka was the only Arsenal player to have achieved the feat.  

Despite Arsenal’s mistake with their tweet, Saka has continued to make progress each season with regards to his goalscoring exploits.

Over the last five seasons, Saka’s amount of goals in the Premier League has increased each campaign – one, five, eleven, 14 and now 16.

Arsenal just missed out on winning the Premier League title last season, with City finishing two points ahead of them.

However, the Gunners will be eager to compete again next campaign as they look to finally get the better of Pep Guardiola’s side and be crowned champions.

If Arsenal are to win the title next season then it seems likely that they will need the outstanding Saka to be at his best again.
