Every current Premier League club’s biggest trophy success
A club's history and tradition are built on the club's success, and winning trophies are the most significant marker of success for any team. Trophies are evident in debates over which teams are bigger than others, so here is each Premier League club's most impressive trophy win.
Winning the Premier League is difficult enough, but going unbeaten has never happened and hasn't happened since Arsenal completed it during the 2003/04 season. Arsene Wenger's men had 26 wins and 12 draws, accumulating 90 points—the 'Invincibles.'
Aston Villa has a storied history, but their biggest trophy success came in 1982 when they lifted their one and only European Cup. Legendary striker Peter Withe scored the game's only goal in the 67th minute to help them past Bayern Munich.
