Bukayo Saka reveals message from Thierry Henry after scoring on his 200th Premier League appearance as Arsenal beat West Ham

Saka created Arsenal history with his penalty goal in the 67th minute against West Ham as he became only the second Gunners star in history, after club legend Henry, to score on his 200th Premier League appearance. Earlier, Declan Rice had scored the opener in the 38th minute.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Saka said: "Thierry messaged me this morning to remind me we lost the last two games to West Ham at home. He is always pushing me. I am really happy to have my name with his records."

On Arsenal's performance against the Hammers, Saka added: "It showed the progress we have made. The last two seasons we slipped up at home against West Ham and we wanted to put that right today. We know the quality we have at the top end of the pitch and we know if we keep a clean sheet, it is more than likely we will win the game."

Captain Martin Odegaard suffered a fresh blow after being taken off in the 30th minute of the match, while Declan Rice suffered from back pain and had to be subbed off in the 79th minute. Arsenal return to action after the international break against Fulham in the Premier League.
