Arsenal have broken their own 19 years Premier League record during their 5-0 win over Burnley on Saturday, February 17.
The Gunners secured a huge victory over Vincent Kompany's men at Turf Moore, as they record five consecutive wins in a new year.
Since the beginning of January 2024, Arsenal have defeated Crystal Palace (5-0), Nottingham Forest (2-1), Liverpool (3-1), West Ham (6-0) and most recently Burnley (5-0).
Mikel Arteta's men have scored 21 goals in this run of five successive wins, conceding two. In three matches.
What happened?
The Gunners thrashed Vincent Kompany's side at Turf Moor after taking the lead within four minutes through captain Martin Odegaard.
Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 from the penalty spot, before adding his second goal in 47 minutes.
The goalscoring continued through Leandro Trossard on 66 minutes, before Kai Havertz crowned it all by netting his fifth goal of the season late on.
Arsenal, who claimed a fifth successive league triumph since the start of the calendar year, have done so for the first time in the club's history.
The Emirates outfit have become the second side in Premier League history, after Liverpool, to score 5 plus goals in consecutive away matches.
