After commanding Arsenal in the victory against Tottenham, last Sunday (28), Mikel Arteta became the fifth fastest coach to reach the 100 Premier League victory mark. He needed just 169 games.
Historic Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger, who remained at the club for 23 years, took 179 matches to achieve the feat, 10 more than the Spaniard. The Frenchman won the competition three times with the Gunners.
