Top three players to assist in six consecutive Premier League matches

All three players have represented Arsenal at some point in their career.

In contemporary English football, assisters have experienced a boom in importance and are now viewed as essential components of winning teams.

Even though scoring goals is widely regarded as one of the greatest aspects of our favourite sport, there are situations when the crucial pass, cross, or through-ball that precedes a goal is overlooked or undervalued. But the importance of midfielders remains certain. They are the key players who control the rhythm of the game. They have the ability to find the strikers with their slick passing in the games.

With that in mind, we take a look at the only three players who have assisted in six consecutive Premier League games.

3. Cesc Fabregas

Fabregas was assisting for years during his playing time as a midfielder. He became one of the best playmakers in the Premier League and was a cult hero at Arsenal and Chelsea. The Spanish midfielder established himself at both clubs.

He was another star who made six assists in six consecutive Premier League games. Meanwhile, his overall record in assists has been 111 in the Premier League. He remains the third player with the most assists in the league.

2. Mesut Özil

Mesut Ozil made history with Arsenal by becoming the first player to assist in six straight Premier League games as his team battled Tottenham to draw 1-1. The former Real Madrid midfielder was doing it for years as it was his bread and butter, providing assists in every game possible.

After setting up Alexis Sanchez in the 5-2 thrashing of Leicester, Ozil went on to accumulate further consecutive assists against Manchester United, Watford, Everton, Swansea, and Spurs.

1. Bukayo Saka

For quite some time now, Arsenal’s right flank has been well-armed with Bukayo Saka. Thus far, the 23-year-old has proved indispensable to the Gunners.

Bukayo Saka became the first player to record six assists in the opening six Premier League games with his most recent one coming in a 4-2 win against Leicester. Saka, at a very young age, became a decisive player for the Gunners. He has remained irreplaceable for them on the right wing.
