Arsenal on Saturday set two records after their FA Cup fifth-round win against Mansfield Town

Recall that Arsenal defeated Mansfield Town 2-1, thanks to goals from Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke.

The win against the EFL League One side ensured the Premier League leaders booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-final stage.

However, according to OptaJoe, the Gunners’ win against Mansfield Town means the Premier League North London club have now won 35 games in all competitions this season (8 draws, 3 loses), more than any other big five European league team this season .

Also, it is Arsenal’s outright most wins in a single season under their manager Mikel Arteta (previously 34 wins in 2023-24).

Arsenal will now hope to extend the records when they face Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League in mid-week.
