Saka’s place among Arsenal’s youngest players to reach 100 league wins is also noteworthy. He ranks third, behind Arsenal legends Fàbregas and Cliff Bastin. Bastin, who set the record back in September 1934, achieved his 100th win at the age of 22 years and 171 days, making him the youngest in Arsenal’s history to do so.
While both Fabregas and Bastin marked their 100th victories by scoring in their respective matches, Saka did not find the back of the net against Aston Villa. However, his impact on the game was undeniable. He played a crucial role in both of Arsenal’s goals, delivering a cross that eventually led to Leandro Trossard’s finish and later providing the assist for Thomas Partey’s goal that sealed the win.
