Arsenal breaks Manchester United’s all-time Premier League record

Arsenal officially surpassed Manchester United’s historic record following their victory over Brentford, confirming their status as the team with the strongest defense in Europe this season.

Arsenal continues to demonstrate consistent and convincing form in the Premier League by breaking a seemingly “untouchable” record held by Manchester United. Over the past three years under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have become one of the most disciplined and solid teams in England, especially in defense. The central defensive duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have maintained remarkable stability, while Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie are always ready to add steel to the backline.

After the win against Brentford, Arsenal extended their streak of matches conceding fewer than three goals to 108 across all competitions. This achievement allowed them to surpass Manchester United’s previous record of 107 games, set between 2016 and 2018 under Jose Mourinho. Throughout Premier League history, no team has maintained such defensive solidity for so long.

The last time Arsenal conceded three goals to an opponent was in December 2023 against Luton Town — over two years ago. Since then, Arteta has built an almost perfect defensive system, where organization, discipline, and defensive reading are the team’s greatest strengths.

The 2025/26 season marks an incredible rise for Arsenal. After 14 Premier League matches, they have conceded only 7 goals and kept 8 clean sheets — the best stats not only in England but also across Europe’s top five leagues. Compared to the historic 1998/99 season, when Arsenal conceded 17 goals under Arsene Wenger, it is clear that the current squad is steadily approaching the highest defensive standards in the club’s history.

This achievement is even more impressive as Arsenal has sustained defensive solidity while competing strongly for the Premier League title for three consecutive seasons, starting from 2022/23.

If Saliba, Gabriel, and their teammates continue their performance and help the team claim the championship at the end of the season, many experts believe they will be recognized as one of Arsenal’s greatest generations ever.

This new record not only proves Arsenal’s remarkable growth but also sends a clear message to rivals: to defeat Arteta’s team, you must break through one of the toughest defensive systems in Premier League history.
