Saturday's 4-0 win at Manchester City saw us record our 350th clean sheet in the Premier League.
Deserved winners at the Etihad as we hit four without reply against the reigning league champions to return to winning ways, the final scoreline perhaps didn't tell the full story of the evening as the Citizens remained a threat throughout the clash, and our defence had to be at its best to thwart them.
Lining up with Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie as our back four for the first time this Premier League season, our defenders were imperious under the northern lights while Guglielmo Vicario was irreproachable between the sticks.
It was a first Premier League clean sheet in five matches with our last also having coming away in Manchester - September's 3-0 win over Manchester United.
It was also Vicario's 10th Premier League clean sheet of his career having added a further three so far this campaign to his debut return of seven.
Notably, the shut out for our 350th in the Premier League since the competition came into existence in 1992 - we are the seventh club to reach that milestone.
In total, 15 goalkeepers have contributed to that tally with former number one and club captain Hugo Lloris having been responsible for 127 of them (36 per cent).
