Arsenal just achieved remarkable Premier League feat for first time in 11 years by beating Tottenham

Arsenal are currently enjoying a remarkable streak of success on the road.

Arsenal bagged yet another away victory on Sunday afternoon, with a 1-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby.

Mikel Arteta clearly knows how to inspire his side to produce their best, even when they are playing away from the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are also enjoying a period of dominance over Spurs in their neighbours’ own territory. Arsenal have beaten Tottenham away from home three times in a row now, a feat they never even achieved whilst Arsene Wenger was at the helm.

The Gunners had to battle for this victory too. Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba were magnificent at the back, and David Raya impressed too, as Arteta’s team were forced to defend for sustained periods at times.

On top of that, Arsenal had to contend with an injury crisis heading into this fixture. After the final whistle, Arteta admitted he had been given sleepless nights in the build-up to this match, due to the number of absences he had to cope with.

These factors make this result, and Arsenal’s record on the road, all the more remarkable.

Arsenal extend impressive away form

As reported by Opta on X: “Arsenal have won six consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since March-September 2013, when they won eight in a row under Arsène Wenger.”

So far this season, Arsenal have beaten Tottenham and Aston Villa on the road.

In their final four away Premier League games last season, the Gunners were victorious over Manchester United, Spurs, Wolves, and Brighton.

This record underlines the Gunners’ resilience, strength of character, and confidence. Their ability to contend with unwelcoming atmospheres and opponents looking to play on the front foot comes down to the mindset that Arteta has instilled in his players.

Arsenal ready for Champions League test

Arsenal will next travel to play in midweek, when they are due to face off against Atalanta in their first Champions League outing of the new campaign.

Arteta will be determined to see his side seriously compete in Europe’s elite club competition this season, and he will expect his players to replicate their impressive domestic away form on the continent.

They will be boosted by the return of Declan Rice for this fixture, as his suspension has now been served. What’s more, Martin Odegaard may recover enough fitness in time to feature against the Italian outfit.
