Arsenal has been dominant throughout 2023/24 season
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal found themselves at the summit of the Premier League standings following the conclusion of Matchweek 28, albeit by the narrowest of margins.
The Gunners clinched a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday, March 9, overcoming a second-half struggle to maintain their slim lead. The decisive goal came from Kai Havertz in the 86th minute, securing a crucial win for the club.
After 28 matches, Arsenal boasts 64 points with a goal difference of +46. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Manchester City battled to a 1-1 draw on Sunday, March 10, allowing the Gunners to maintain their position at the summit.
Last season, Arsenal held the top spot for 248 days before succumbing to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. This season, the alterations implemented by head coach Arteta appear to be bearing fruit in the team's new game plan.
The Gunners have secured wins in all eight matches since the start of the new year, boasting an impressive aggregate score of 33-4.
The club also etched its name in English football history by becoming the first team to achieve three consecutive away victories, each by a margin of five or more goals. Additionally, they secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals by triumphing over Porto in a penalty shootout.
