ARSENAL came from behind to beat Swansea 2-1 at the Emirates on Saturday... and extend their winning run at home to 13 in a row in all competitions.
Sead Kolasinac and Aaron Ramsey scored a quickfire double as the Gunners overcame a nightmare start following Sam Clucas' opener for the visitors.
In grabbing all three points, Arsenal not only closed the gap on North London rivals Tottenham, they even broke a record. The 13 straight home wins is the Gunners' best-ever record at the Emirates Stadium. Since moving from Highbury to their current home in 2006, Arsene Wenger has never seen his side go on such an incredible run. The streak kicked-off towards the end of last season, all the way back in April. The Gunners played out a 3-0 drubbing of West Ham - thanks to goals from Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud. Arsenal closed out their season on home soil with victories over Leicester, Manchester United, Sunderland and Everton - all in the Premier League. This season, Wenger's side have won every, single game... in the Prem, Europa League and EFL Cup. The Gunners fought-back late to edge past Leicester 4-3 in the season-opener, before beating Bournemouth 3-0 in their next home clash. A 3-1 win over German outfit Cologne in Europe followed, before a nervy 1-0 win over League One side Doncaster in the Carabao Cup.
Back-to-back 2-0 wins - over West Brom and Brighton - in the Premier League came next at the Emirates, before last week's 2-1 win over Norwich in the League Cup. This weekend's tense victory over Swansea made it No13 in a row for Arsenal. 13 may be unlucky for some... but clearly not for the Gunners.
