# Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Record-Breaking Unbeaten Run at Liverpool
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may have left Liverpool this summer, but he departs Anfield with an impressive all-time record. According to Opta’s Michael Reid, the 29-year-old went 39 straight appearances unbeaten between March 2018 and February 2020, making him the longest unbeaten run of any Liverpool player in history.
## Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Unbeaten Run
The midfielder’s record puts him ahead of Divock Origi (35) in second and James McBride (34) in third, the latter of whom played for Liverpool in the 1890s. Hugh McQueen (33), a team-mate of McBride’s, is fourth on the list, with Joe Gomez (32) rounding off the top five.
The majority of Oxlade-Chamberlain’s unbeaten run came during the season that saw him make his highest tally of appearances for the club. The midfielder featured 43 times in the 2019/20 season, helping Liverpool to win the title, with 25 of those outings coming as a starter.
## Injury Problems
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s long-term knee injury, which came in the early stages of his unbeaten spell, did undoubtedly contribute to the difficulties he faced later in his time on Merseyside. However, as his record shows, he should not simply be dismissed as injury prone or deadwood – as he was an influential part of the title triumph.
## Conclusion
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may have left Liverpool this summer, but he departs Anfield with an impressive all-time record. His 39 straight appearances unbeaten between March 2018 and February 2020 makes him the longest unbeaten run of any Liverpool player in history.
