Mbeumo’s first half goal ends Arsenal's chance of breaking Chelsea’s historic record

Heading into the match, the Gunners were under pressure in their title pursuit, having failed to secure a win in their last two Premier League outings.

Despite this, they arrive with a significant boost in confidence following their UEFA Champions League victory over Inter Milan at the San Siro.

While possessing the league's stingiest defence, having conceded the fewest goals, the team fell short of breaking Chelsea's established record.

The Blues retain their historic record as the only team in the Premier League to concede just 15 goals in a single season.

According to a post from the Premier League main account on X, “Your annual reminder of just how *ridiculous* Chelsea’s defence was in the 2004/05 season 😱

“Bryan Mbeumo’s equaliser for Man Utd against Arsenal means Chelsea’s record of conceding only 15 goals in a single campaign can’t be beaten for another season!”

Mbeumo scored Man United’s equaliser, ending Arsenal’s chance of breaking Chelsea’s record after the Gunners took the lead in the first half.

A mistake from Martin Zubimendi gifted the Cameroonian a one-on-one opportunity with David Raya and he easily beat the goalkeeper and scored.

The Red Devils wenton to secure a 3-2 victory at the Emirates, snapping Arsenal's unbeaten home streak for the season. 

This defeat also ended a two-year run for Arsenal, where they had not conceded three goals in a single game.
