When Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-0 this past weekend, not only did the Gunners go vaulting to the top of the Premier League table, they also saw one member of their team claim top spot in an important statistic for the 30-year history of the league.
New £30 million signing Oleksandr Zinchenko played all 90 minutes in Saturday’s victory at the Vitality Stadium and moved clear as bearer of the best career win percentage of any player to have appeared 50 times or more in the Premier League.
Zinchenko has now played a total of 79 games in the top flight and has emerged on the winning side in 65 of them, both with new side Arsenal (three games) and with former club Manchester City (76.)
With a Premier League win percentage of more than 82% tucked under his belt, the Ukraine international left-back can now claim to have a better personal record than any other player, though many of his former City teammates are lurking close behind.
