It has been an amazing run for Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger over the course of 20 years at charge of the Gunners and now, on what might as well be the farewell for the French boss, the North London team is trying to say goodbye to him in the best way they can, by winning a title after several years.
There have been a lot of ups and downs for the Gunners this season, but they will be looking to bounce back stronger in the second half of the league.
A great winning streak followed by a couple of subpar performances, it feels like this phrase pretty much sums what Arsenal has been over the course of the years, but this time; we’ll let the 10 pictures to do all the talking for us.
The Gunners had a sad start to the new campaign, losing 3 to 4 against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium and showing what a defensive disaster they were, lowering expectations for what would their season be over the course of the months.
2. Ozil fires and guns
The German star got off to an amazing start of the season and made Arsenal finally earn their first win of the season after a loss and a tie against the defending champions. The Gunners defeated Watford 3 to 1 and hope began to rise.
3. Reinforcements arrive
The Gunners unveiled the signings of Deportivo la Coruna winger Lucas Perez and Valencia’s Shkodran Mustafi, the young defender that would finally help the North London team to seal their lockdown defence.

The English forward scored a deuce past Swansea City, making the Gunners jump to the top of the table alongside Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
