Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has congratulated Bukayo Saka after the Arsenal winger joined an elite list of Premier League players with 50 goals and assists each since November 2018.
Saka achieved the feat during Arsenal’s recent Premier League 6-0 victory over Sheffield United.
His cross was inadvertently turned in by Jayden Bogle in the 13th minute of the game to make it 2-0 for the Gunners.
The 22-year-old then gave an assist after he aided Declan Rice’s 39th-minute goal to make it 5-0.
After the match, @footballonTNT on X (formerly Twitter) shared a statistic that noted that the England international had reached 50 assists for Arsenal across competitions.
The tweet noted that Saka is the sixth Premier League player to rack up at least 50 goals and assists each since November 2018.
Saka joined Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Ex-Man City winger Riyad Mahrez, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min on this list.
Responding to the tweet, Ferdinand wrote: “50/50 Star Boy doing Star Boy things! Congrats @BukayoSaka87”.
Saka now has 54 goals and 50 assists in 214 career matches for Arsenal.
