Arsene Wenger would’ve loved what he saw during matchday seven of the Premier League season.

Watching from afar, Wenger often passes comment on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, hoping that the Gunners will soon win their first Premier League title since 2004.

It’s difficult to comprehend how the last time the North Londoners won the Premier League was when Wenger’s Invincibles squad went the entire season unbeaten.

While there are still 31 games to play, it’s unclear whether Arsenal can win the league, but one thing has already been decided.

Jack Grealish keeps Arsenal’s Invincible record intact

Wenger’s unbeaten record is still intact, as by matchday seven, every Premier League team has suffered a loss.

The Arsenal legend almost had to wait another week to see if his record would be beaten, but Jack Grealish prevented Wenger from having to delay his celebrations.

In the 93rd minute of Crystal Palace’s clash with Everton, Grealish scored the match-winner to end Palace’s unbeaten run.

The Eagles were unbeaten in 19 games in all competitions before Grealish spoiled the party, which subsequently ended the chances of any club this season matching Arsenal’s unbeaten record. 

Grealish has many friends in the Arsenal squad and might’ve made a new one in Wenger after his late goal. 

What is the closest a Premier League side has come to going unbeaten?

Winning the Premier League is an incredibly difficult task, as Arteta knows, having finished second for three consecutive seasons.

The idea of winning the league is a dream, making the prospect of completing an entire calendar unbeaten more of a fantasy.

Wenger made it a reality in May 2004, but it so nearly became a trend. 

Since Arsenal’s unbeaten season, two clubs have managed to end the Premier League season with just one defeat.

Jose Mourinho did it with Chelsea in the 2004/05 season, the campaign after the Invincibles.

Liverpool have also gone a season suffering just one defeat, reaching a 97 points tally under Jurgen Klopp in the 2018/19 campaign.

Remarkably, it wasn’t enough for Liverpool to win the league, as Manchester City won the prize, reinforcing how difficult the task is.

Wenger’s record is safe for another year, posing the question as to how close Arsenal can get to the Frenchman’s zero-losses tally.
