18 — Record-Breaking Goals From Corners
Arsenal turned dead-ball situations into one of the most devastating weapons in Europe this season.
The North London club scored 28 Premier League goals from set pieces, with an astonishing 18 coming directly from corners, the highest tally ever recorded in a single Premier League season.
What started as a tactical strength quickly became a defining identity, as Arsenal repeatedly punished opponents with well-rehearsed routines throughout the campaign.

19 — Clean Sheets for David Raya
Arsenal’s title success was built on defensive control. Goalkeeper David Raya finished the season with 19 clean sheets, equalling Arsenal’s best-ever Premier League record for a goalkeeper.
The Spaniard also secured a third consecutive Premier League Golden Glove award, placing him among an elite group of goalkeepers to achieve that feat.
Arsenal’s defensive solidity was reflected in their ability to grind out results, winning eight league matches by a 1-0 scoreline, their highest total since the 1998/99 season.
24 — A Tightly Managed Squad
Mikel Arteta relied on one of the smallest squads in the division during Arsenal’s title-winning campaign.
The Gunners used only 24 players across the entire Premier League season, the second-lowest total in the league, highlighting the manager’s trust in a tightly controlled core group.
Raya and Martín Zubimendi were Arsenal’s only ever-present players, while teenage sensation Max Dowman emerged as one of the breakthrough stars of the season.
Dowman became both the youngest debutant and youngest goalscorer in Premier League history before adding another landmark as the youngest player ever to win the title.
44 — Mikel Arteta’s Age
At just 44 years old, Arteta became the second-youngest manager to win the Premier League title, behind only José Mourinho.
The Spaniard also became the youngest Arsenal manager ever to guide the club to a league title, surpassing George Graham.
Having previously captained Arsenal as a player, Arteta now joins an exclusive group of figures to win the Premier League both on the pitch and from the dugout.
238 — Days at the Summit
Arsenal dominated the title race from start to finish. By the end of the season, the Gunners will have spent 238 days at the top of the Premier League table, 204 more than Liverpool and 229 more than Manchester City.
Unlike previous seasons, Arsenal finally turned long-term dominance into silverware. In 2022/23, they famously spent 232 days at the top of the table before eventually losing the title to Manchester City, still the highest number of days spent first by a team that failed to become champions.
Since the beginning of the 2022/23 season, Arsenal have spent a remarkable 562 days at the summit of the Premier League, more than any other club, but this time, they finally have the trophy to show for it.
