The victory over MU helped Arsenal extend their impressive record against the Premier League 's 'Big Six', taking their unbeaten streak to 22, starting from the 2023/24 campaign.

The results show how well the Gunners have performed in big games. Not only that, Arsenal also have incredible statistics when visiting Old Trafford.

Opta points out that all six of Arsenal's away wins against MU in the Premier League have been by the same score of 1-0. No other team in the league has had such a 100% identical away win record as the Gunners!

Captain Mikel Arteta was elated after the MU 0-1 Arsenal match: “ A big day, a significant win. To come to Old Trafford on the first game of the season, to soak up the atmosphere, with the way MU are building momentum, with the new signings and the excitement around, it was a great feeling.

I was very pleased with the way Arsenal reacted today, especially with the mistakes we made. We were very positive and that's why we had a chance to win. It's about character and spirit .

How can we make mistakes and react to that? In the spaces we had, we should have beaten them. The team tried very hard, the defence was fantastic.

Before I came to Arsenal, the team probably hadn't won a game at Old Trafford for 18-22 years. But when I walked into the dressing room, we won, making the opponent unhappy. That was a good sign."

When asked about the performance of new signings Gyokeres and Zubimendi, Arteta said he was “very pleased” with them , but added that both needed time to reach their best fitness.
