This dates back to Arsenal’s foundation in 1886, with 82 wins at the Manor Ground, 951 at Highbury and 230 at the Emirates Stadium, and Arteta is now in the history books as a result.

Arteta ranks eighth out of all Arsenal managers for the most wins, with 109 wins from 184 Premier League games.
Arsene Wenger ranks top, with 476 victories from 828 games making him untouchable on the list, with Bertie Mee in second place with 181 wins from 420 matches.
The legendary George Graham won 162 of his 350 First Division and Premier League matches in charge of Arsenal, but Arteta will hope that if he can stay long enough, he can overtake some of these legendary names in club folklore.
