Arsenal didn't just jump up to the fifth place with their 2-0 win at Manchester City, they also ended a woeful run of 10 away Premier League matches at the home of the reigning champions without a win.

Before today's victory, the last time Arsene Wenger's side had won an away Premier League match at the champions was in 2002, when they beat title-holders Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, a result which secured them the title that season.

Here's the full list of those results:

2014/15: Man City 0-2 Arsenal

2013/14: Man Utd 1-0 Arsenal

2012/13: Man City 1-1 Arsenal

2011/12: Man Utd 8-2 Arsenal

2010/11: Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
