Mikel Arteta reaches win milestone and beats Arsene Wenger to a record in North London Derby triumph.
Mikel Arteta made history with Arsenal's victory over Tottenham, achieving a feat that eluded Arsene Wenger during his entire tenure as manager of the Gunners.
Historic Win
In a thrilling North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Arsenal secured a crucial 3-2 victory over their arch-rivals. The Gunners raced to a three-goal lead within the first 40 minutes, thanks to an own goal by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and strikes from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz.

Despite a spirited comeback attempt by Tottenham, with goals from Cristian Romeo and Son Heung-min, Arteta's side held on for the win.
With this triumph, Arsenal achieved a significant milestone, winning consecutive away fixtures against Tottenham for the first time since the 1988-89 season. Remarkably, Arsene Wenger, in his 22-year reign as manager, never accomplished this feat, making Arteta's achievement all the more impressive.
The last Arsenal manager to achieve this was George Graham in 1988. Prior to this victory, Arsenal had only managed two wins in their previous 17 meetings at Spurs' home ground.
Arteta's Milestone
The victory over Tottenham also marked Mikel Arteta's 100th win in the Premier League since taking charge of Arsenal. Arteta reached this milestone in just 169 games, surpassing Wenger's record of 179 matches to achieve a century of wins in the league.
Arsenal's next challenge comes on Saturday when they host Bournemouth in a crucial Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners will be eager to build on their momentum and secure another vital victory as they continue their pursuit of success in the league.
