One Cleansheet Away: Can Arsenal Break 122 Years Of History In The Premier League?

Arsenal stands on the brink of history, one clean sheet away from breaking a 122-year-old club record and redefining defensive excellence in English football. The Gunners’ current streak has captivated the Premier League and stoked hopes that this could be their defining season under Mikel Arteta. This in-depth blog explores Arsenal’s remarkable run, the tactical revolution fueling this defensive mastery, and whether the North London giants truly have the steel to make history where so many have fallen short. Arsenal’s Clean Sheet Streak: Breaking Down the Numbers Arsenal’s consecutive clean sheet run in all competitions has not just matched a club record set back in 1903—it has revived the aura of defensive invincibility that defined some of football’s greatest teams.

🚨 Canada MNT involved in Copa América drone use.


The backlash from the Canada women's team's Drone Gate incident has now spread to the men's side, who allegedly engaged in similar behavior during the Copa América. On Monday, New Zealand's Olympic Games opponents, the Canada Women's National Team, discovered a drone spying on a training session in Saint-Étienne ahead of their match this week.

In addition to an undisclosed member of staff being sent home for allegedly operating the drone, coach Bev Priestman was suspended for the duration of the tournament - and it has now been revealed that this may be a problem for all of Canadian senior soccer on the international level. "I have received anecdotal evidence in recent days that there was an attempted drone usage once during the Copa América," revealed Canada Soccer CEO Kevin Blue. "I have spoken with Jesse Marsch. He was aware of it after the fact, at the very least, and has opposed it as a habit to his employees. I believe the competitive integrity of the match was not jeopardized."

Blue went on to say that, in light of the present situation, the Canadian players should not be punished for actions about which they appeared to know little to nothing. "I'm stating right now that the team hasn't seen any of that tape, and the players haven't done anything illegal. I'm disappointed by the diversion this has caused, but I haven't considered leaving the squad," he said. "That's primarily because we believe we handled the situation quickly and effectively. "The players have not engaged in any unethical behaviour." In the game in question, Canada defeated New Zealand 2-1.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, has issued an update on the condition of midfield standout Jude Bellingham. This comes after the England international raised alarms among the Blancos fans on Sunday evening. Real Madrid, of course, made their return to play recently, hosting Getafe in the Spanish capital for a La Liga match. When all was said and done, the day's hosts won comfortably by a score of two goals to zero. The aforementioned Bellingham had a key role in this, scoring the game's first goal from the penalty spot and setting up a wonderful assist for Kylian Mbappé.
