Saka Reaches Milestone as Arsenal Cement Top Spot in Thrilling Victory

On October 4th, 2025, Arsenal have cemented their position at the top of the Premier League table with a convincing 2-0 win over West Ham. The Gunners took the lead in the first half when Declan Rice, playing against his former club, scored after Alphonse Areola saved an Eberechi Eze shot.

Arsenal doubled their advantage in the 66th minute when Bukayo Saka converted a penalty, taking his tally to 100 goal contributions in the Premier League. The 24-year-old has been in scintillating form, averaging a goal or assist every other game since his debut in 2019.

Despite an early chance for Eze, West Ham were unable to find an equalizer, and Arsenal held on to secure all three points and move to the summit of the league table. The victory will be a significant boost for Mikel Arteta's side as they look to maintain their strong start to the season.
