Arsenal sets a series of historic records after their victory over Burnley

The 2-0 triumph over Burnley not only strengthened Arsenal’s lead in the Premier League but also placed the North London team in the record books with a remarkable set of achievements.

At Burnley’s Turf Moor stadium, Arsenal continued to display dominant form by securing their seventh consecutive clean sheet victory across all competitions. Goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice lifted the Gunners to 25 points after 10 matches, temporarily putting them 9 points ahead of Manchester City and 10 points clear of Liverpool before their rivals played.

Notably, this is only the second time in Arsenal’s long history that the team has kept seven straight clean sheets, a feat previously achieved only in 1987. With this accomplishment, Mikel Arteta is transforming Arsenal into a squad that is both solid and ruthlessly efficient. Instead of relying solely on an aggressive attacking style, they now win games by locking down their own goal.

Furthermore, Arsenal reached a rare milestone in Premier League history by scoring eight goals from corner kicks within just 10 rounds. This makes them the first team in the league to achieve such a record, outpacing all rivals in the same period. In the match against Burnley, Gyökeres’ opening goal came from a textbook corner routine, demonstrating the team’s mastery of set-piece situations.

These statistics clearly highlight the tactical influence of coach Mikel Arteta and set-piece specialist Nicolas Jover – regarded as the “architect” behind Arsenal’s success on dead-ball plays. Each corner kick is now executed like a carefully choreographed performance, with coordinated movements and precise finishing down to the smallest detail.

It’s no surprise that Arsenal fans are thrilled, while opponents grow increasingly wary whenever the Gunners earn a corner. With a rock-solid defense, devastating form, and the ability to capitalize on every opportunity, Arsenal is becoming a comprehensive powerhouse in this Premier League season.

If they maintain their current scoring rate, Arteta’s team could reach 30 goals from set pieces — a feat that could rewrite English football history.
