Arteta now best manager in Arsenal history after 150 games

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is the club's best after 150 games after victory at Chelsea.

Gabriel Magalhaes struck the only goal of the game in Sunday's win.

It means Arteta has 87 wins as Arsenal boss - five more than Arsene Wenger had at this stage.

Wenger is alongside George Graham on 82 victories after 150 matches, with Harry Bradshaw on 78, Tom Whittaker on 75 and Terry Neill on 72.

Arsenal have been top at the end of each weekend since their win at Bournemouth on August 20 and Arteta said: "It was a big win for us and another step.

"To come here against a top opponent, world class players all over the pitch, dominate the game and actually win it is very meaningful. Hopefully it will give the boys even more belief."
