101 Gunners goalscorers at the Emirates: Iwobi scored same number of goals as Arsenal legend Henry

Through their official website, Premier League giants Arsenal have revealed that one hundred and one different players have scored at the Emirates Stadium wearing the Gunners shirt. 

Kai Havertz and Jorginho were on target in Arsenal’s 6-0 demolition of Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday to become the 100th and 101st different Gunners goalscorers since the club moved to the Emirates Stadium in 2006.

Of the 101 Arsenal players to score at the Emirates Stadium, only one is eligible to represent the Nigeria national team – Hale End Academy product Alex Iwobi. 

Iwobi scored eight goals at the Emirates Stadium, same number as legendary Arsenal striker Thierry Henry and Eduardo da Silva.

A breakdown of Iwobi’s eight goals at the Emirates Stadium shows that they were all scored in Premier League games – two against Crystal Palace, Burnley and Watford and one each against Stoke City and Brighton & Hove. 

Iwobi’s eight-goal haul at the Emirates Stadium is bettered by thirty four other Arsenal players, with Robin van Persie leading the way with 64 goals, followed by Theo Walcott (56), Olivier Giroud (53, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (52) and Alexandre Lacazette (44).
