For Arsenal, 2025/26 finally brought the finish they had been chasing for years. Mikel Arteta’s side ended the campaign on 85 points and, more importantly, lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time in 22 years. After several seasons of getting close, that changed the mood around the club completely.
The title wasn’t built on one spectacular attacking run. Arsenal were simply difficult to beat. They conceded only 27 league goals and David Raya finished with 19 clean sheets, while eight of their wins ended 1-0. Those Arsenal stats say plenty about how comfortable Arteta’s team became in matches where there was very little room for error.
There was enough quality at the other end as well. Arsenal scored 71 league goals, with Viktor Gyokeres leading the way on 14. Set pieces caused problems all season too, particularly corners, and gave them another route to goal when open play became messy.
That makes 2026/27 interesting for a different reason. Nobody is asking whether Arsenal can stay involved in a title race now. The question is whether they can repeat the habits that got them over the line in the first place. Their clean-sheet total, record in close games and spread of goals across the squad should be worth watching.
Supporters following Arsenal results and fixtures can also use BetVictor’s wider football stats coverage during the season.
