The young footballer, who wore the captain&#8217;s armband after Martin \u00d8degaard&#8217;s injury, had an outstanding performance in the 2-0 victory over West Ham United.\n\nSaka, from the penalty spot, became the second Arsenal player, after Henry, to score in his 200th match. The victory propelled Arsenal to the top of the Premier League, surpassing Liverpool.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;Thierry sent me a message this morning to remind me that we lost the last two games against West Ham at home,&#8221; Saka told Sky Sports after the match. &#8220;He&#8217;s always pushing me.

I am very happy for him. He is super consistent and willing to learn constantly. He finds ways to score goals. He will grow and mature. I hope he continues to impact the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<cite>Mikel Arteta<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nDespite the joy of Saka&#8217;s achievement, the match was not without concerns.
