    Bukayo Saka has solidified his place in Arsenal history as the club’s youngest player to score 50 Premier League goals.

    At just 23 years and 52 days old, he broke Thierry Henry’s record, marking this achievement during Arsenal’s intense 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

    Saka’s early goal gave Arsenal the lead, though Liverpool fought back with an equalizer by Virgil van Dijk.

    Mikel Merino restored Arsenal’s advantage before Mohamed Salah equalized once again, leading to a hard-fought draw.

    Saka’s accomplishment is remarkable when considering the ages at which other Arsenal legends reached this milestone.

    For instance, Robin van Persie scored his 50th Premier League goal at 27 years and 162 days, highlighting Saka’s early impact in comparison to his predecessors like Theo Walcott and Freddie Ljungberg.

    Interestingly, Saka and Henry share a unique connection, as both scored their milestone 50th goal against Liverpool.

    However, the overall Premier League record for the youngest player to reach 50 goals is still held by Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, who achieved it at just 20 years and 252 days old in 1996.

    Saka’s achievement underscores his growing legacy at Arsenal and his bright future in the Premier League.
