Bukayo Saka tops Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Cristiano Ronaldo as Arsenal star racks up 100th Premier League win – but two big names are still ahead of him!

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka left behind Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Cristiano Ronaldo after racking up his 100th Premier League win against Aston Villa.

Saka’s achievement makes him the third-youngest player to reach the milestone at just 22 years and 354 days. He managed to register the incredible feat just four days younger than Manchester City’s Phil Foden, who previously held the third spot. Wayne Rooney remains the youngest player to achieve this with a record of 22 years and 87 days, followed closely by former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, who reached the mark at 22 years and 180 days. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s fallen star, Raheem Sterling reached the landmark in 23 years and 15 days and Cristiano Ronaldo made it in 23 years and 25 days.

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.

Despite reaching 100 Premier League wins at a young age, Saka’s journey to this milestone was not the quickest. His 100th victory came in his 172nd appearance, a number that pales in comparison to the record held by Phil Foden. The Manchester City star reached 100 wins in just 127 appearances, a feat that highlights the dominance of City during his time at the club. Following Foden in the record books are Bernardo Silva (129 appearances), Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Ederson (both achieving 100 wins in 130 appearances).

The 100-win milestone is just the latest in what promises to be a long list of achievements for the young England international. He will be back in action next Saturday when Arsenal host Brighton in the Premier League.
