Arsenal’s win over West Brom was an historic night in the Premier League… and not only for Gareth Barry
GARETH BARRY'S record-breaking appearance stole the headlines at the Emirates - but Arsenal's victory over West Brom proved to be historic in more ways than one.
But not everything was as it seemed in North London as a number of landmarks were reached.
And luckily SunSport is here to pick out some of the key records that were sent tumbling and bring you some of those milestones that you might have missed.
GARETH BARRY'S RECORD APPEARANCE
OK, so we know it has been widely-reported and this one certainly did not go under the radar.
But it's only right that we start with the veteran on his special night.
LATEST ARSENAL NEWS
THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER
Alexandre Lacazette may still be adjusting to a new country - but he is enjoying his home comforts in North London.
The Frenchman pounced to head home the opener on 20 minutes before adding another from the spot after the restart.
And that ensured that he has found the net on his first three home league matches for the club.
He is the first man to do that for the Gunners since Brian Marwood in September 1988.
100 NOT OUT
Barry was not the only man in the West Brom camp to reach an impressive landmark.
Tony Pulis was taking charge of his 100th game in charge of the Hawthorns side.
The ex-Stoke chief became only the eighth boss to manage a century of matches for two different Premier League sides.
SPOT ON CENTURY
The decision to award Arsenal a penalty in the second half was met by cheers from the Emirates faithful.
But it was extra special as it was the 100th awarded to them in the Premier League.
And Lacazette stepped-up to mark the occasion by sealing the points.
The summer transfer window was one the craziest we have ever seen.
Take a look at the most profitable transfers of ALL time.
And here are the Premier League players whose wages made them the most expensive per minute played.
WAITING GAME
This one could have been so different for the Baggies - and Jay Rodriguez.
Pulis accused Alexis Sanchez of "cheating" after his own player was denied what appeared a certain penalty.
And, believe it or not, West Brom have now gone 39 Premier League games without being awarded a spot kick - the longest wait among current top-flight sides.
