Arsenal created a piece of small piece of Premier League history when they defeated arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
The Gunners triumphed over their north London neighbours thanks to a second half header from centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes and a stout defensive performance.
It was their third consecutive away victory over Spurs, something they had never previously achieved in the Premier League – and hadn’t done at all since 1953.
“It’s unbelievable,” Mikel Arteta told BBC Match of the Day after the final whistle. “I don’t know when it happened in our history.

“After the international break, we had a few blows. How the team reacted was magnificent. It showed a lot of maturity from the team.
“When they get into the final third, it’s very difficult because they have a structure. We were missing vital players and we had to react to that. I’m very pleased.
“We had to adjust and use different players and qualities. I was hoping they would do something with the ball and we did it. Sometimes better than others. They are a really good side.
“When we have to defend in deeper areas, we did it really well. There are things to improve but we have another victory here and it’s huge. I know how our supporters will feel about this so enjoy it.”
Next up for Arsenal is a trip to Bergamo where they will face Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday before travelling to Manchester City for a huge Premier League clash next Sunday.
