A remarkable record for Arsenal this season showcases Chelsea’s dramatic slump over the course of the 2022/23 campaign. The two London rivals had contrasting fortunes during the latest weekend in the Premier League.
While the Gunners continued their title tilt with a 1-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday, the Blues were downed 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the following day. This victory for Mikel Arteta’s side took their away points tally to a whopping 31, seven points clear of next-best Manchester City, from 13 matches.
Astonishingly, this total alone would be enough for Arsenal to be placed higher than Chelsea in the official Premier League table, despite being amassed from 11 games fewer. Across 24 league games this campaign, the Blues have also accumulated 31 points, but their goal difference of -2 is diminished by Arsenal’s +16 from away games alone.
