Arsenal have become the first top-flight team in English football to win six matches in a single calendar month without conceding a goal. This record, confirmed by Opta, followed their 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup.
During October, Arsenal secured victories against Olympiacos, West Ham United, Fulham, Atletico Madrid, Crystal Palace, and Brighton. Importantly, they maintained a clean sheet in each of those games. This highlights their defensive strength and tactical organisation.
Speaking after the win against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta credited the team’s unity. He also highlighted the squad depth for maintaining consistency.
“It’s going to make us stronger because, again, the easy thing maybe is to make some changes at that moment. I really believe in them… And after that, now they have a good feeling that they can compete and beat a really good Premier League team,” the Spaniard said.
Arteta also praised the defensive pairing of Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera. He noted that their performance was particularly impressive considering it was their first time playing together. This showcases the team’s ability to adapt and perform even with changes in personnel.
