'Everything is Thierry Henry-ish' - Bukayo Saka reacts to breaking Arsenal legend's 23-year-old record after appearing to copy his goal celebration in thrilling draw with Liverpool

The young Gunner returned from injury to torment Liverpool in an entertaining 2-2 draw that saw Saka net the opener a few minutes into the game. It marked his 50th Premier League goal, meaning he broke the club record set in 2001 by Henry, who was 24 when he bagged his half-century for the Gunners. Saka was asked about the achievement after the game, having appeared to copy Henry's iconic shrug celebration, and admitted everything he does for the club will be compared to the French legend.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I try to keep the keepers guessing. I think it was a nice finish, I haven't seen it back yet but it felt nice. He has every record Thierry Henry so it's nice but of course you wanna win the game but I have to be happy with this. Everything is Thierry Henry-ish. If you score it's Thierry Henry if you assist it's Thierry Henry. I'm feeling good. I felt I could finish the game but the gaffer took me off."

Saka already has four goals and seven assists in all competitions this term and has made a name for himself as one of the Premier League's most consistent players. At his current rate, the 23-year-old is on track to become one of Arsenals' most prolific players ever in the final third.

Saka may even be targeting Henry's total goal record for Arsenal. The Frenchman netted 228 times for the Gunners, while their current No.7 has 61 in 236 games.
