Having edged past Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday evening, Arsenal racked up their eighth Premier League win on the bounce.
It is an impressive achievement for the Gunners, and one that just about keeps them in the race for the title as we approach the final stretch of the season.
However, Arsene Wenger's men still have some way to go before they surpass their own record tally set back in 2002 - a run which lasted for 14 games.
With that in mind, Sports Mole takes a look at how the North London club's current tally stands up against some of the previous best runs from across the years.

Arsenal's triumph in Lancashire, which came courtesy of Aaron Ramsey's early strike, saw them draw level with Manchester City's eight-game winning streak set last year. The Citizens brushed aside all before them in a run that started with a memorable 6-3 victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, before eventually succumbing to Chelsea nearly two months after last dropping points.
What makes this even more commendable is the fact that Manuel Pellegrini's charges also picked up impressive results in the Champions League and FA Cup, including a 3-2 win at Bayern Munich, in a season which eventually ended with them claiming the Premier League title. The champions almost matched that feat once more earlier this season, before a shock draw at Burnley put paid to their hopes of reaching the magic eight mark once again.

At one stage last season, with just three games left to play, it was hard to look past anyone other than Liverpool lifting the league crown. An incredible nine-game winning run, which included a 5-1 victory over Arsenal, a 3-0 triumph at Old Trafford, and perhaps most memorably of all, a 3-2 power-shifting win over fellow title chasers - and eventual champs - Man City at Anfield.
It was after the latter of those games that skipper Steven Gerrard gathered his teammates in a huddle to deliver the now infamous "We don't let this slip" message. The Reds found themselves top of the pile at that stage, two points clear of the chasing pack, and their advantage was further strengthened when they picked up maximum points against Norwich City. The run eventually ended in the most cruel of circumstances when they met Chelsea at the end of April, with that slip-up from Gerrard allowing the Citizens to steal the trophy from Liverpool's grasp.

Under the tenure of two different managers, in a spell running across two different seasons, Chelsea recorded their biggest run of games without dropping points back in 2009. Interim boss Guus Hiddink ended the 2008-09 campaign on a real high with five straight wins in the league, alongside an FA Cup triumph at Wembley.
Hiddink's brief taste of English football came to an end that summer, but Chelsea did not look back under Carlo Ancelotti by beginning the following campaign with a mammoth six wins on the bounce. The Blues would go on to lose just six games all season under the Italian, as they lifted their last Prem title.
Manchester United: 12 games (March-August 2000)

With Arsenal hot on their heels, Manchester United put together a whopping 11-match tally of wins to storm to the title in style, finishing 18 points ahead of Arsenal in 1999-2000. It was not all plain sailing for United, though, having seen their Champions League title defence come to a halt after tasting a 3-2 aggregate defeat against Real Madrid in the middle of that league success.
The run eventually came to an end on the second matchday of the following campaign, when Ipswich Town claimed a 1-1 draw against Sir Alex Ferguson's champions. The Red Devils took just four points from the last 15 on offer that term, but it mattered little in the end as they once more finished well ahead of closest chasers Arsenal.

That brings us to the current record set by Arsenal back in 2002. Fourteen teams attempted to halt the Gunners, but not a single one of them succeeded in taking a point from Wenger's side. The North London outfit's draw at Southampton on February 2 would prove to be the last time they failed to take maximum points in a league game until August 18 - a run which took them to the Premier League title and placed their name firmly in the record books.
Of course, the following year would see Arsenal set a record of a different kind by going 49 games without losing a single game. That impressive feat included many draws, though, ensuring that the class of '02 would be the ones to make history which still stands some 13 years on.
