Chelsea have equalled Arsenal's record for successive wins in a single Premier League season, matching the 13 straight victories managed by the Gunners in 2001-02.
The Blues defeated Stoke City 4-2 at home on Saturday to bring up the milestone in what is manager Antonio Conte's first campaign in England.
It was a 3-0 loss away to Arsenal in September that sparked Chelsea's impressive streak, a run that started on October 1 with a 2-0 win at Hull and has fired them into a commanding lead at the top of the table.
In a welcome omen for Conte and his players, Arsenal went on to win the league in the season when they set the benchmark.
