One of the shining lights was Bukayo Saka, whose pin-point cross in the opening minutes was headed in by Gabriel Martinelli.

Saka's assist was his 20th since making his Premier League debut in the 2017-18 season.

At 21 years and 55 days, the England international is now the third youngest player to 20 PL assists!

The youngest is another former Arsenal youngster, Cesc Fabregas, who reached 20 assists in 19 years and 352 days.

Former Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney soon followed Fabregas, bagging 20 assists by the age of 20 years!

Saka suffered an injury in the first half and his substitute Reiss Nelson scored twice and assisted once in Arsenal's win.
