Mikel Arteta has made history by becoming the first manager to win the Barclays Manager of the Month award in successive months since Pep Guardiola achieved the same feat in November and December 2021. This is a testament to Arteta’s outstanding coaching skills, which have helped Arsenal secure several victories and maintain their push for the Premier League trophy.
Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s young star, has also achieved a significant milestone by winning the EPL player of the month award for the first time in his career. Saka’s scintillating display throughout the month included scoring three goals and providing two assists in just four appearances, playing a pivotal role in Arsenal’s flawless winning streak.
In a match against Everton, Saka scored a brilliant goal and provided an assist, helping Arsenal secure a convincing 4-0 victory. He continued his impressive form by netting a brace and providing another assist in a match against Crystal Palace, which earned him a place in Arsenal’s history books as the youngest player ever to achieve double figures for both goals and assists in a Premier League season. This feat surpassed the previous record held by Cesc Fabregas.
Saka faced stiff competition for the award, with five other players in contention, including Alexander Isak, Alexis Mac Allister, Tyrone Mings, Mohamed Salah, and his Arsenal teammate Leandro Trossard. Nonetheless, Saka’s remarkable performances throughout the month made him a clear winner.
Overall, Arteta and Saka’s achievements highlight Arsenal’s impressive form in recent times and the team’s potential for future success. Fans will undoubtedly be excited to see how Arteta and Saka continue to shape the team’s fortunes in the upcoming matches.
