William Saliba last night broke an incredible Premier League passing record as Arsenal demolished Sheffield United 6-0 at Bramall Lane.

The Gunners continued their insane league form with yet another historic result as Mikel Arteta’s side breezed past the Blades 6-0 away from home, making their goal difference the best in the Premier League.

And one player who again impressed on the night was Saliba, who limited Sheffield United to just three shots all night, none of which made their way on target to David Raya’s goal.

William Saliba sets passing record in 6-0 Sheffield United

Now, according to the Atheltic, evidence has emerged that Saliba set a new Premier League record for Arsenal for the most passes completed in a single game with an incredible 169.

With Sheffield United making just 142 passes overall, the stat goes to show just how dominant Arsenal were in Yorkshire last night, with Saliba enjoying all the freedom in the world to do what he wanted.

Indeed, the French international has again been one of the best defenders in the Premier League this season, with Saliba putting in displays that have opposing attackers tremble in their wake.

And the centre-back’s passing performance last night showed that Saliba is more than just a defender, with the 22-year-old setting an unbelievable Premier League record for Arsenal in what was a game to remember.

William Saliba can become a Premier League legend at Arsenal

It’s almost insane to think that Saliba is still just 22-years-old, with the former Saint-Etienne star exuding confidence and maturity that is rare to see in a defender as young as the Arsenal star.

And after Saliba’s latest Premier League performance, there’s no reason why the French international can’t become a legend in the division for the north London side.

Having recently signed a long-term contract at Arsenal, the Gunners will have Saliba on their books for quite some time, and the centre-back will only get better as time goes on.
