Mikel Arteta's masterpiece according to statistics

Arsenal have matched a record last seen in Arsène Wenger’s Invincibles era by winning nine Premier League games in a row.

Winning run stretches back to Newcastle

The sequence began with a 1-0 win over Newcastle and has carried Arsenal through a series of different tests. They beat Fulham 3-0, won 1-0 at West Ham and edged Burnley by the same scoreline.

Arsenal then beat Crystal Palace 2-1, Coventry 3-0, Aston Villa 1-0 and Chelsea 2-1 before finishing the run with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland. It is the first time since 2003/04 that the club has put together nine consecutive league wins.

Arteta’s side showing consistency

The run suggests a side that is holding its level across a long league campaign rather than relying on isolated results. The source material says the wins have underlined Arsenal’s stability and competitive edge under Mikel Arteta.

Supporters will now hope the form continues and that memories of the Invincibles can be stirred again at the Emirates.
