Arsenal’s Tweet Misfire
In an online faux pas, Arsenal Football Club had to retract a tweet celebrating Bukayo Saka’s Premier League achievements after inaccurately claiming he was the only player to have scored or assisted against every team he’s played against in the league. The celebratory post, which hailed “Sensational Saka,” was quickly taken down when eagle-eyed fans highlighted that Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland had previously reached the same milestone.
Manchester City’s Witty Comeback
Not missing a beat, Manchester City responded with a tongue-in-cheek post of their own. They shared a graphic titled “Sensational Erling,” showcasing the Norwegian striker’s record of scoring or assisting against each of the 22 Premier League teams he has encountered over two seasons. This playful jab underscored the inaccuracy of Arsenal’s original claim and celebrated Haaland’s impressive feat.
Saka’s True Record Set Straight
Following the blunder, Arsenal issued a correction, stating that while Saka might not be the first in the Premier League to achieve the feat, he is the first Arsenal player to do so. Despite the mix-up, Saka’s performance remains noteworthy as he continues to shine for the Gunners.
Saka’s Season to Remember
Bukayo Saka has had a standout season, with 16 goals and nine assists in 35 league appearances. His contributions were pivotal in Arsenal’s title challenge, although they narrowly missed out on the top spot to Manchester City by just one point. As Arsenal’s bright spark, Saka is expected to be a central figure in Gareth Southgate’s plans for England at the upcoming Euros in Germany.
Harry Kane’s Former Glory
Before his move to the Bundesliga, Harry Kane had also left his mark on the Premier League by scoring against all 32 teams he faced. While Kane has since departed English football’s top tier, his record remains a testament to his consistent performance during his time in the league.
