The latest goal netted by Arsenal talent Bukayo Saka this afternoon has seen the English international etch his name firmly into the club’s history books.
Gunners on top
Mikel Arteta’s men are of course currently locked in action.
In one of six Premier League Boxing Day fixtures, the Gunners made the trip to Carrow Road, eyeing a 5th straight victory across all competitions.
And, as things stand in East Anglia, all three points is precisely what Arsenal are headed towards.
The visitors currently lead Norwich by a goal to nil, owing to an early strike on the part of the aforementioned Saka.
After being slipped into the area by the in-form Martin Odegaard, Saka cut inside onto his trusty left foot, before picking out the far corner with a pinpoint finish:

*Update* – Kieran Tierney has since made it 2-0 to Arsenal.
Saka pips Fabregas
And, as alluded to above, owing to his latest Gunners goal, fan favourite Saka has since etched his name ever further into the history books on the red half of north London.
This comes with the gifted wide-man, at 20 years and 112 days old, having established himself as the 2nd youngest player to ever score ten Premier League goals for Arsenal.
Saka has pipped club icon Cesc Fabregas to 2nd spot, with only Nicolas Anelka having managed to hit the double digit mark at a younger age in Gunners colours:
