Arsenal achieve feat for the first time in their history as they close in on Chelsea & Man Utd record

April 21, 2024 Ligue 1

Arsenal have broken a new record, with Mikel Arteta guiding the Gunners to a hugely impressive six consecutive away clean sheets in the Premier League.

That’s the first time Arsenal have gone on a run like that in their entire history, according to journalist Sam Dean, while additional information from statisticians Opta states that only Chelsea and Manchester United have managed more consecutive clean sheets on the road.

See below from the posts on X that highlight just how impressive a run this is from Arsenal, who won 2-0 away to Wolves yesterday, following recent victories away to the likes of West Ham and Burnley as well, plus a 0-0 draw away to Manchester City…

For the first time in their league history, Arsenal have kept six consecutive clean sheets away from home.

Goalkeeper David Raya has also proven a fine signing, while Declan Rice also does a great job in defensive midfield, putting in a lot of work to protect that back four.
