All of a sudden, Arsenal has a six-point lead in the Premier League. Over to you, Manchester City.
In one of its most dominant performances for weeks, Arsenal overpowered Fulham in a 3-0 win on Saturday that transferred the title-race pressure to second-place City.
All of the goals came in the first half, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring twice and setting up the other for Bukayo Saka.
City has two games in hand, the first coming at Everton on Monday. Significantly, Arsenal now has a superior goal difference of 4 compared to City in a title fight that could yet come down to that tiebreaker if both teams win all of their remaining matches.
Arsenal has three left — West Ham away, Burnley at home and Crystal Palace away — in an easier run-in on paper than City’s.
“We never stopped believing,” Gyokeres said. “We’re not going to.”
