Only 7 goals and 5 wins! Arsenal surprise everyone with an incredible Premier League statistic
Who needs a goal festival to keep winning? Arsenal have produced a remarkable Premier League statistic that perfectly illustrates Mikel Arteta's approach. The London giants have won five consecutive league matches despite scoring only seven goals during that period!
Details: On November 9, The Touchline highlighted Arsenal's extraordinary efficiency. Their five victories came against Leeds United (2:1), Nottingham Forest (1:0), Everton (2:0), Liverpool (1:0) and Hull City (1:0). Seven goals were enough to collect all 15 available points, while the Gunners conceded just once.
The latest victory came on November 7 against newly promoted Hull City. Despite dominating possession and recording 21 attempts, Arsenal needed a 72nd-minute strike from Martin Ødegaard to secure a narrow 1:0 win. The captain reacted first after Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis failed to hold Noni Madueke's shot.
Arteta admitted afterwards that his players must become more clinical in front of goal. However, their defensive organisation continues to compensate for missed opportunities. Arsenal have kept four clean sheets during the five-match winning run and conceded only five goals throughout their opening ten Premier League fixtures.
It's worth noting that Arsenal have collected 27 points from ten matches, equalling their best Premier League start from the 2022/23 season. Nine victories and just one defeat leave the defending champions top of the table, six points ahead of Manchester City. Their next league fixture is against Newcastle on November 21.
Reminder: Battle of England's four giants! Arsenal lead the race for Club Brugge's goal machine.
