Arsenal have strengthened their remarkable home record under Mikel Arteta, while Kai Havertz reached a personal landmark during their latest Premier League game against Coventry City.
The Gunners have now taken a two-goal lead in 60 Premier League home matches since the Spanish manager took charge, according to football statistics provider Opta.
Arsenal’s record after establishing that advantage is striking. They have won 58 of the previous 59 matches in which they led by two or more goals at home under Arteta, with the other ending in a draw. They have never lost one of those games.
The run underlines the team’s consistency and ability to manage matches once they gain control at Emirates Stadium. Opta described the record as “Unbreakable” in a post highlighting Arsenal’s dominance.
The north London club have also extended a long-standing unbeaten sequence against newly promoted sides. Their latest result against Coventry means Arsenal have gone 45 consecutive Premier League home matches without defeat against teams arriving from the division below.
That sequence includes 40 victories and five draws. It is the longest unbeaten home run against newly promoted clubs achieved by any team in Premier League history.
Arsenal’s strength against such opponents has therefore become one of the defining features of their record at Emirates Stadium, with the club continuing to avoid defeat in this fixture category.
Havertz’s form provided another notable statistic. The Germany international scored in four successive starts for the first time since arriving in English football.
His run began with a goal against Burnley, followed by another against Paris Saint-Germain. He then found the net against Manchester City before scoring again against Coventry City.
The achievement marks the first time Havertz has scored in four consecutive starts during his career in English football. It also highlights the attacking contribution he has made for Arsenal during the current season.
Havertz has increasingly become an important part of Arteta’s forward options, with his latest goal completing a sequence against opponents from the Premier League and Europe.
The records underline the transformation Arsenal have undergone in recent years. Under Arteta, their home performances have produced an outstanding combination of results when they move into a two-goal lead, while their unbeaten record against newly promoted clubs has reached a historic level.
Havertz’s scoring streak adds an individual milestone to the team achievements, giving Arsenal another positive statistical marker alongside their continued dominance at home.
