Arsenal Make English Football History With Perfect October Run

Arsenal Are Flying High — And They’ve Just Etched Their Name Into The History Books.

Mikel Arteta’s men created English football history with their 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka sealed the win and secured a quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace.

But beyond the victory, there was something even more special about the night. At just 15 years and 302 days, Max Dowman became the youngest player ever to start a competitive match for Arsenal — a proud moment for both the player and the club.

That wasn’t the only record worth celebrating. According to SportsMole, Arsenal became the first top-flight team in English football history to play six games in a month, win all six, and keep a clean sheet in each.

From a 2-0 win against Olympiacos in the Champions League to tight Premier League victories over West Ham, Fulham, and Crystal Palace, plus an emphatic 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid, the Gunners were simply unstoppable in October.

Their defensive resilience and attacking precision have seen them go 11 competitive matches unbeaten, with 10 wins and one draw since their last loss to Liverpool in August.

With a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, Arsenal now turn their focus to Burnley this weekend before heading to the Czech Republic for a Champions League encounter with Slavia Prague.

For a club that has often been accused of inconsistency in recent years, this Arsenal side looks mature, ruthless, and ready for greatness.

If they keep this up, Arteta’s Gunners might not just be making monthly records — they could be scripting a title-winning story.
