Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised the club's "historic" record after claiming his 27th Premier League win of the season on Sunday.
The Gunners kept their title dreams alive by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford and needed only one goal from Leandro Trossard in the 20th minute to claim all three points. In doing so, Arsenal surpassed 26 wins in 2003/04 and a double in 2001/02 to set a new record for the most games won by a club in 38 league games.
After the game, Arteta was full of praise for his team and their significant achievements. He said: "This is 27 Premier League victories and the most in the 130-year history of this football club. It's not progress, it's history, it's very, very difficult to do, especially in the league we're in right now. ”。
"A huge tribute to all the players and staff for all that they do." Arsenal's victory over Manchester United also ensured their title race will host Everton on the final day of the season. If they go on to be crowned champions, it will be their first Premier League trophy lift in 20 years.
Speaking to the club's media about what the league title means for the team, Arteta added: "This result opens another box, another window, and this is the last day of the season. Fight for the Premier League in front of our people and families. We will have a wonderful day together. ”。
'It's going to go down in history and we owe everything we did to the players and the staff. Achieving this in our long history will depend a lot on our quality, but also on the determination and mentality of this team, and how much they want to win and how willing they are to give to get results. ”
Arsenal's final game of the season will be against Everton on Sunday. After title rivals Manchester City head to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, they will know what they need to finish first.
