The Gunners cruised to a 3-0 victory against Slavia Prague on Tuesday night as the North London side continued their relentless streak. Arsenal have won eight matches in a row without conceding for the first time in what is an impressive feat.
As reported by OptaJoe and the club website, Arteta’s side now have a joint-record for an English top-flight club along with Preston in 1889 and Liverpool in 1920 and will now seek to beat the 105-year record in their game against Sunderland this weekend.
Leeds United were the last English team not to concede a goal in their opening four matches, in the 1969‑70 European Cup campaign, under Don Revie and Arsenal have also matched this record as they continue to set the standard.
Max Dowman also made history as he became the youngest ever player to feature in the Champions League and was named a “miracle” by the Gunners' opposition.
Arteta is breaking records left right and centre. He cannot stop his relentless Arsenal side from breaking down the opposition and locking down what is a steel defence.
His side will now look to reach nine in a row for the first time, and chase down Liverpool’s English record of 11 straight shutouts, set all the way back in 2005/06.
