Statistical Highlights from Arsenal’s 5-2 Victory Over West Ham

In 2024, Arsenal has achieved the feat of scoring five or more goals in five distinct away matches across all competitions. This accomplishment equals the record for an English top-flight team in a single calendar year, previously set by Sunderland in 1892 and Manchester City in 1937. For the first time ever in a Premier League fixture, Arsenal converted two penalties in the first half, with Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard successfully converting their spot-kicks. This season, Saka has registered 10 assists in 13 Premier League appearances for Arsenal. Only three players have reached double figures in assists in fewer games during a Premier League campaign: Harry Kane (11 in 2020-21), Cesc Fabregas (12 in 2014-15), and Mesut Ozil (12 in 2015-16). Saka’s involvement in Premier League goals this season totals 15, comprising 5 goals and 10 assists. This places him second overall, trailing only Mohamed Salah, who has 16 goal involvements.
