Mikel Arteta celebrated his 100th Premier League game as manager last weekend with a win against Fulham in an action-packed match.
The Arsenal manager took over as manager for the first time on Boxing Day 2019, when the Gunners drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on the road. This past Saturday, he became one of Arsenal’s managers to lead Arsenal to the 100th Premier League match.
Arsene Wenger and George Graham also celebrated their milestone games with victories, and Mikel Arteta just did against Fulham over the weekend with a 2-1 win.
That is one less than Wenger and fifteen more than George was able to accomplish. Arsenal has scored 159 goals and gained 175 points in Mikel Arteta’s first 100 games.
During his press conference before his 100th game as Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta discussed the accomplishment and said: “I’ve just found out about it – time flies!
“It is such a privilege to be in this football club and reach that number, and hopefully we can extend that for a long period and bring joy and a lot of wins.”
There have already been many highs and lows in Arteta’s first 99 games. Except for Manchester City, Mikel has faced 23 different teams and defeated each of them at least once. He has also utilized no fewer than 43 players.
While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues to lead in goals with 25, Bukayo Saka has played in more games (90) than any other player under the Manager.
The largest victory occurred on December 26, 2021, on the manager’s second anniversary, when Norwich City was routed 5-0 on the road.
In the history of Arsenal, Mikel became the 14th manager to oversee 100 league games.
