Arsenal’s win at Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday meant that Arsenal stretched their lead at the top of the table to four points but it was a result that also brought up a couple of other milestones.

Arsenal’s win over a tough Leeds side means that Mikel Arteta’s men have won nine out of their first 10 games, something no side has ever done in the club’s 136-year history.

The three points also moved Mikel Arteta into the top ten of managers with the highest points-per-game over a minimum of 50 games – 1.8.

The rookie manager has already moved above Louis van Gaal (currently the Netherlands manager), Andre Villas-Boas (without a club), and Mauricio Pochettino (without a club).

Arsene Wenger is currently 7th with an average of 1.96 points per game.
