Arsenal have only conceded three goals this season in all competitions. The leader of the Premier League has the most hermetic defense not only in England, but also in the elite of Europe. The Gunners have had an incredible run since the club was founded in 1886, with three goals conceded in 11 matches, eight of which were scored by Raya and Kepa!
Mikel Arteta's team only conceded a goal against Liverpool (0-1) at Anfield, Manchester City (1-1) and Newcastle (2-1), all in the Championship. The defense with Raya, Kepa, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori and Timber erected an insurmountable wall in no less than eight games out of 11 played!

Szoboszlai, Haaland and Woltemade were the only ones to score for Arsenal. Never in the history of the north-east London club has such a wall been seen in the way of opponents.

Arsenal have two games in a row without a shot on goal!
More. according to statistics published by Opta, Arsenal have two consecutive Premier League games, the derbies with West Ham and Fulham, in which they have not had a shot on target! Since 2003-04, since Arsene Wenger's Invincibles, who won the last of the Gunners' 13 titles, no one has matched this formidable feat.
Even in the Champions League group, Arteta's defense had no problems, Bilbao and Olympiakos being defeated to zero. Tomorrow, however, comes the challenge called Atletico, with Diego Simeone's side coming to the Emirates to knock down the London wall.
Compared to what is happening this season in Europe, there is only one team that has taken the ball out of the goal three times in the championship. But Roma, just beaten at home by Chivu's Inter, has one less match played in Serie A, and in the Europa League they conceded two more goals.
In the Bundesliga, the champion Bayern (7 games) has one more passive goal, but whose defense has received eight in 10 games played in all competitions (two in the Cup and the same in the Champions League).
