Mikel Arteta secures his seventh Barclays Manager of the Month award.

The Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, joins an elite group, as only seven managers in Premier League history have won the prize more times than him.

In February, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal achieved a remarkable feat as the only Premier League team with a 100% winning record.

They secured victories against leaders Liverpool, West Ham United, Burnley, and Newcastle United, contributing to Arteta’s successful claim for the Barclays Manager of the Month award as announced on Premier league website.

In February, Arsenal displayed an impressive performance, boasting the best attack with 18 goals, six more than any other team, and a joint-best defense, conceding only twice.
