The Arsenal Invincibles

On 24th October 2004, Arsenal FC’s most famous unbeaten record came to an end with a 2-0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Arsene Wenger

The run started on May 7, 2003, i.e. the previous season and continued for 49 Premier League matches. Throughout the 2002-03 season they went the whole 38 league game campaign unbeaten. 

This feat earned them the nickname “The Invincibles” and under the stewardship of manager Arsène Wenger, they won 26 matches and drew 12, ending the season as Champions amassing 90 points.

Thierry Henry

During the 2002-03 season, French striker Thierry Henry, who only missed one match in the whole season, found the net 30 times for the North London outfit. 

They became the first top-flight English club to go unbeaten since Preston North End who achieved the feat in 1888-89 (Preston played far fewer matches, winning 18 of 22).

This unbeaten run remains one of Arsenal’s greatest achievements and still remains as a historic milestone in English football.
