Chapter 167 - 167: Unstoppable Momentum into December

Headlines flew across Europe:

"Night of the Massacre! Kai involved in all seven as Arsenal obliterate Spurs!"

"4 goals, 3 assists—The Undisputed Spurs Slayer!"

"Arsenal captain declares: 'Our goal this season is every single trophy!'"

"A match made in heaven—Wenger says coaching Kai is the greatest honor of his career!"

"Disaster for Spurs—Son Heung-min out for the season, Pochettino under fire!"

The match between Arsenal and Spurs shook all of European football.

Shocking headlines rippled across the continent!

And now, with the League Cup quarterfinal behind them, Arsenal closed out an undefeated November, continuing their jaw-dropping win streak.

The Gunners were charging through one of the most grueling months of the season with unstoppable momentum,

and now—December had arrived!

All of English football sounded the alarm.

The real test had come!

From this month onward, the Premier League schedule would grow even more intense.

For clubs playing on multiple fronts, the FA Cup would also kick off this month.

Another competition meant another chance at silverware—

but also, a heavier burden.

Many clubs would now face difficult decisions.

Multiline competition came with a price:

Injuries, mental fatigue, slumps in form—even internal or external conflicts.

Some clubs would be forced to give up on certain competitions to focus on the ones they had the best chance of winning.

In December alone, Arsenal had nine matches to play:

5 Premier League fixtures

1 FA Cup match

2 Champions League group stage rematches

1 League Cup semifinal

The schedule was even more packed than November.

On average, they'd be playing one match every three days.

Some matches would even involve back-to-back away trips with little time to rest.

Once the five Premier League games this month were completed,

the first half of the Premier League season would be over.

No winter break.

As soon as January arrived, the second half of the season would begin without pause.

December, then, was a turning point—the spinal hinge of the Premier League season.

Many clubs would begin to unravel.

For title contenders, this month often revealed the true divide between dreamers and champions.

December 3rd

After a two-day break, Arsenal returned to training with a short half-day camp.

December 4th – Premier League Matchday 15

Arsenal away vs. Aston Villa.

The first three league matches this month would all be away fixtures.

Aston Villa, a mid-to-lower table team at the time, looked manageable.

Wenger fielded a rotated lineup, resting several key players.

Kai led the midfield.

In 90 minutes, he was again directly involved in four goals:

2 goals, 2 assists.

Final Score: 4–0!

Arsenal started December with a bang.

Giroud, starting as striker, scored a powerful header.

In the 70th minute, van Persie came off the bench and scored as well—assisted by none other than Kai.

With this win, Arsenal extended their Premier League win streak to 15 matches!

They continued to set new records, and were now just two games away from tying Inter Milan's legendary 17-match winning streak set in the 2006–07 Serie A season.

Up Next: December 7th – Premier League Matchday 16!

Arsenal arrived at the banks of the River Tyne—an away clash against Newcastle United!

Newcastle had been in red-hot form this season.

After 15 Premier League rounds, they were sitting fifth on the table,

leaving behind a struggling Chelsea and the veteran force of Everton.

The objective of Newcastle's manager was clear:

With home advantage, they aimed to play the giant-slayer—

to be the team that finally ended Arsenal's unstoppable winning streak.

But reality didn't go according to plan.

Even with a rotated lineup, Kai led the Gunners on the pitch.

And just five minutes into the match, he delivered a jaw-dropping, curling through ball—

cutting through Newcastle's backline like a knife through butter!

Theo Walcott latched on, burst into the box, and curled the ball beautifully into the net!

1–0!

In the 20th minute, it was time for another signature moment.

Kai unleashed a trademark thunderbolt from outside the box—

Goal! 2–0!

The first half ended with Arsenal firmly in control.

But the onslaught didn't stop there.

In the second half, Kai and van Persie continued to rip through Newcastle's defense.

In the 56th and 71st minutes, van Persie scored twice,

both goals set up by two deadly passes from Kai.

Though Newcastle fought back valiantly,

they managed only a single goal from open play in the 80th minute—

a small consolation to avoid total humiliation at home.

Final score: Arsenal 4–1 Newcastle!

The Gunners secured their 16th consecutive Premier League win!

All of English football was shaken to its core!

Arsenal's insane run was now the talk of all Europe.

"Arsenal have completed a terrifying 16-match win streak!"

"They're now just one win away from matching Inter Milan's all-time record of 17 straight league wins across Europe's top five leagues!"

The media were in awe.

If Arsenal could pull it off, they wouldn't just tie a record—

they would stand on the brink of creating a new legend in front of the entire world.

Before the next round of Premier League action, Arsenal faced a domestic cup challenge.

The FA Cup had returned.

And for Arsenal fans, that could only mean one thing—excitement.

After all, no team in England has won the FA Cup more than Arsenal.

They were once known as the Kings of the Cup.

Whenever the Gunners stepped onto the FA Cup stage,

it was like returning home—

their form would explode with terrifying power.

As per the rules, Premier League teams join the FA Cup in Round 3.

Arsenal were drawn against Oldham Athletic, a lower-tier team from League One.

Wenger went for a major rotation.

Only Kai and Wojciech Szczęsny remained from the starting XI.

Even so, with nine substitutes on the field, Kai led the team to a complete annihilation:

8–0!

Oldham were torn apart, and Arsenal cruised into the next round.

Three days later, it was time for the next Premier League clash.

All of England held its breath.

A new milestone lay directly ahead of Arsenal.

Win this next match, and they'd tie the longest winning streak in Europe's top leagues.

And once fans saw who Arsenal would be facing—

London exploded.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace

A newly promoted side this season—Crystal Palace.

But for Kai, they were so much more.

His boyhood club. His roots. His former throne.

North London and South London roared with energy.

In this emotionally charged match,

Kai would return to Selhurst Park,

where he was crowned king just last season.

Now, he would come back in glory—

as the most feared superstar in English football.

A homecoming of a legend.

The Eagle King returns.

Back to the ground where he was once hailed as a king,

Kai would now lead Arsenal in pursuit of a new legend—

a record-breaking 17th straight Premier League victory.

All eyes would be on him.

South London would rise again—for him.
