Key figures

Arsenal keeps its 17 consecutive matches without a loss in Premier League running (since 20/12/1998). The last time this streak has been beaten, it was during the 26/12/1997-03/05/1998 time period (18 matches).

Only back at the time of Billy Wright head of Arsenal (01/07/1962-01/07/1966), you can see a manager go over Arsène Wenger with 1.64 goals scored per game in Premier League (1.83).

It's the first time Alun Armstrong scores 1 goal in Premier League
