Mikel Arteta stat makes for surprising reading

Can Arsenal fans finally have some hope around the team and feel that Mikel Arteta is finally the man that will be able to bring success back to the club after such a long period?

If the numbers are anything, then the Gunners could be in for an exceptional time under the Spaniard. Admittedly, whilst we know that the numbers never lie, there would have to be some scepticism as we all know that there are some underlying factors at play.

Nonetheless, the numbers to have been provided should have even some of the most cynical laying off for a moment and even perhaps thinking about placing a wager on their team once the international break is over and the Premier League is back when they check out https://www.betting-sites.ca.

Speaking of international duty, Emile Smith Rowe was called up into the England squad after his performances for Arsenal forced Gareth Southgate’s hand, whilst his recent winner in the 1-0 victory against Watford meant Arteta picked up an interesting stat.

Whilst the Spaniard saw his team move to fifth in the Premier League and extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches across all competitions, Arteta achieved a victory in his 100th game as the Gunners’ manager.

When taking a look at the stats behind his 100-game spell thus far, it makes for some exciting reading for Arsenal fans.

The stats show that Arteta has a better record than Arsene Wenger across the first 100 games, whilst he was only two wins shy of matching George Graham’s record.

After 100 games, Arteta’s Arsenal have amassed 54 victories, three more than Wenger and only two shy of George Graham’s club record of 56 after a century of matches in charge.

In addition, the number of goals that have been scored under Arteta was treated than when Wenger first took charge in 1996, as the current manager has overseen 163 be scored, whilst the legendary French boss saw 157 be scored in his first 100 games.

Admittedly, there is a stat that is available that does paint a different picture. Arteta has seen his side be beaten on 26 occasions – eight more than Wenger did – although he does only have 20 draws compared to the icon’s 31 in that ton of matches.

With the stats suggesting that we could be in for a great time under Arteta and that the future is bright, will things be as good for the Spaniard as they were under the Frenchman? Or is it all just something that we still need to be a little wary off, even if things are going in the right direction for now?
