Arsenal’s defensive resilience has been on full display in recent weeks, further proving that the Gunners are among the best teams in world football.Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, the team have shown remarkable organisation and discipline, working tirelessly to make themselves almost unbeatable at the back. Their structure and cohesion have turned defence into one of their greatest strengths, allowing them to maintain an impressive level of consistency regardless of the opponent or competition.Arsenal’s Relentless Defensive FormArsenal’s performances have demonstrated an exceptional balance between tactical intelligence and individual quality. The defenders, goalkeepers, and midfielders have operated in perfect synchrony, ensuring that very few teams can find a way through their defensive line. Before their recent match against Slavia Prague, Arsenal had already recorded seven consecutive clean sheets across all competitions, a testament to their concentration, teamwork, and determination.Heading into the game, the players were aware that another clean sheet would bring them close to a historic achievement. The Gunners met the challenge with composure and commitment, continuing their defensive excellence even under pressure. Their approach reflected the club’s broader philosophy of control and precision, with Arteta’s meticulous preparation clearly visible in every phase of play.(Photo by Gabriel Kuchta/Getty Images)A Record-Matching Moment in HistoryDuring the second half against Slavia Prague, the Gunners faced a moment that could have ended their remarkable run. Slavia were awarded a penalty that threatened to spoil Arsenal’s record, but after a VAR review, it was determined that Ben White had touched the ball, and the decision was overturned. The ruling preserved Arsenal’s clean sheet and extended their streak to eight matches without conceding a goal.As reported by Opta, this feat means Arsenal have now equalled a record for an English top-flight team that has stood since 1920. That year, Liverpool achieved the same run of eight consecutive clean sheets, with Preston North End having done so earlier in 1889.If Arsenal maintain their current form and defensive solidity, they are poised to enter the record books at the end of the season. Their achievements highlight the success of Arteta’s system, the unity of the squad, and the remarkable discipline that continues to define this exceptional team.__________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
