The numbers Mikel Arteta’s team have been building up on the road this calendar are outstanding, and our friends from Opta have delved into the record books to see where we currently stand in terms of record-breaking runs.

The victory at the home of our neighbours was our sixth in a row in the competition, and it's the first time we have strung that many consecutive wins away from Emirates Stadium since March to September 2013.

Gabriel’s derby day goal also made it a 10th success from the past 11 away games, but what is even more impressive is that we have now joined Aston Villa’s 1998 team as the side who have gone the longest amount of away matches without falling behind in the competition’s history, a run which started back in January:

We are now only two games away from matching our previous best away unbeaten runs in the Premier League at the start of a calendar year, which stands at 13, achieved in both 2002 and 2004. In fact, only seven teams in the division’s history can better our current tally:

Taking into account all unbeaten runs away from home at any time of the season, it currently stands as our sixth-best in the competition - some way behind the incredible achievements of Arsene Wenger’s teams at the start of the new millennium:

We’re averaging 2.82 points per game on our travels this year, and our current total of 31 from 11 matches is just 10 behind our best-ever hauls in any single year, with 2004 and 2013 seeing us collect 41. With eight league away days before we see in 2025, that record could be easily surpassed.

Another record we could be potentially eying up before New Year’s Eve is the clean sheets on our travels in a single year. David Raya and his defence have collected nine already from our 11 road matches, putting us just five behind Chelsea’s 2004 vintage’s high mark. As a club, we’ve only hit double figures twice - in 1993 and 1998:
