Arsenal star Bukayo Saka admits 'disappointment' despite breaking incredible Premier League record

Saka's record-breaking goal came just nine minutes into the match. The Hale End graduate latched onto a brilliant long pass from Ben White, skilfully turned Andy Robertson, and unleashed a thunderous finish at Caoimhin Kelleher's near post.

At 23 years and 52 days old, Saka surpassed the previous record held by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

Nevertheless, Saka revealed the team's disappointment following the draw.

"We're disappointed we couldn't get the three points," he said, adding that Arsenal "weren't at our best" during the match.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Liverpool twice coming from behind to equalise. After Saka's opener, Virgil van Dijk headed in from a corner to level the score.

Arsenal regained the lead through Gabriel Martinelli, who nodded in from a Declan Rice free-kick. However, Mohamed Salah swept in Liverpool's second equaliser later in the game.

The Gunners faced injury concerns as Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber were both forced off during the match. This led to a makeshift Arsenal backline in the closing stages.
