Arsenal’s Saka Ties Thierry Henry’s Record in 1-1 Draw Against Brighton

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka tied Thierry Henry’s iconic record in the EPL, following a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Brighton.

During their Premier League 1-1 draw against Brighton, Arsenal’s winger Bukayo Saka matched the assist record of club icon Thierry Henry on Saturday.

At Emirates Stadium, Brighton prevented Mikel Arteta’s team from maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season.

Since Henry, no Arsenal player had provided assistance in three consecutive league games at the start of the season until Saka achieved it.
