Arsenal Make History With Perfect October After EFL Cup Victory Over Brighton
Story: written by Daniel October 302,2025
Arsenal have etched their name into the record books after completing a flawless October campaign with a 1–0 win over Brighton in the EFL Cup, marking six straight victories without conceding a goal.
The Gunners’ impressive run began with a 2–0 Champions League triumph over Olympiacos, followed by Premier League wins against West Ham United (2–0) and Fulham (1–0).
Their most emphatic performance came in the 4–0 demolition of Atletico Madrid, where Viktor Gyökeres netted twice in three minutes to seal an emphatic European victory. Arsenal then edged Crystal Palace 1–0 before finishing the month with another clean-sheet win over Brighton, completing what has now been confirmed as a historic run.
By winning six matches in a single month — all without conceding — Mikel Arteta’s men have become the first top-flight team in English football history to achieve such a feat.
Overall, Arsenal are unbeaten in 11 competitive matches since their 1–0 loss to Liverpool in August, winning ten and drawing one across all competitions. Their total winning streak currently stands at eight consecutive victories.
What’s Next for Arsenal?
Arteta’s side will aim to carry their outstanding form into November, beginning with a Premier League clash against Burnley on Saturday. The Gunners sit four points clear at the top of the table after collecting seven wins, one draw, and one defeat in nine league outings.
Following that, Arsenal will travel to Czech Republic to face Slavia Prague in the Champions League, before taking on Sunderland in their final domestic match before the international break.
They’ll hope to maintain momentum heading into the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur on November 23.
