Bukayo Saka’s stats v Southampton prove once again he truly is Arsenal’s star boy

Bukayo Saka is undoubtedly the shining star of Arsenal, and he proved it once again as the Gunners triumphed over Southampton with a score of 3-1. He was eager for them to maintain their unbeaten start to this new campaign by ensuring the North Londoners dominated.

Here is Bukayo Saka’s game by numbers vs. Southampton:

15 touches in opp. box
8x possession won
7 chances created
7 shots
3 duels won
2 fouls won
2 shots on target
2 assists
1 goal

I hope you can forgive me for suggesting Kai Havertz over Rice in the past few weeks as the player who’s stepped up and filled Odegaard’s void. The Arsenal prodigy has become a remarkable force in creating opportunities. Havertz’s efforts and contributions are commendable, but Saka has truly stepped up since the sidelining of Arsenal’s captain Odegaard.

Since the unsuccessful title bid last season and throughout the summer, Saka appears to have matured significantly. He now consistently makes the right decisions, which has led to his increased creative efficiency.

Saka genuinely deserves all the praise. As we step into October, he has already achieved an impressive tally of 7 assists and 3 goals.

Observing the right winger’s assists against the Saints showcased the skills of an elite creator, while his goal exemplified the precision of a ruthless finisher. Whether you admire him or not, Bukayo Saka is the player to watch when the Gunners aim to ignite their performance.

  1. I replied a guy on FB that said Saka is not consistent – there was a comparison between him, Palmer and Lamine

    I just get pissed when Yamal is put in these brackets – Guy did something like 4 assists & 3 goals all throughout last season when Palmer and Saka were doing something like 13+ assists & 13+ goals

    I asked him what consistent means

    Cos there can’t be more than 2 people that are more consistent than Saka in the whole league

    And the only person that comes to my mind is Mo Sallah

    1. Yes, but you can’t compare Yamal and Saka anyway because to Yamal, Saka is relatively old (17 years to 23 years). That six-year gap – particularly at that age point – presents a huge potential opportunity for Yamal’s further development. A fairer way will be to compare Yamal’s performance at age 23 to Saka’s now. We’ll have to wait for that though.

  2. Great performance from Saka and he rarely gets injured, but he needs a strong competitor to maintain his level

    Dibling from Soton seems ideal for that purpose, if he gets trained by Arsenal coaches next season
