Spurs 2-3 Arsenal

The Gunners got away with shooting themselves in the foot twice, as they gifted Spurs two goals to wake up a game that should have been put to bed.

Raya paid the price for being too casual at the back, ending 10 hours' worth of away-game clean sheets, by gifting the ball to Romero, who made no mistake. Raya was under pressure from Richarlison at the time, so maybe he was in two minds.

Later, Rice, of all people, was spotted by VAR kicking Ben Davies, albeit by accident. The referee waved away the protests initially, as Spurs had spent a lot of the game trying to win penalties, even when there was no contact. From the resulting spot kick, Son was as clinical as you'd expect.

The result puts Arsenal five points ahead of Liverpool and four ahead of Man City, who play later and are still favourites to win the league.

Wherever the title is destined, now's still a good time to celebrate the Gunners, who once again got the better of their north London rivals in a hard-fought battle.

Spurs 0-3 Arsenal (half time)

Drama has not been in short supply at Spurs, with Arsenal having a Havertz goal chalked off for offside early on. It looked close, as in the German looked onside, but VAR did not check the decision.

Later, Arsenal had VAR to thank, as Van der Ven was ruled offside, when it looked like he'd equalised, after Hojbjerg's own goal from a Saka corner.

Spurs had most possession with Kulusevski using his physique to try to outmuscle Trossard and Tomiyasu. Ultimately, his policy backfired, as the Swede tumbled to the ground in the box, while Arsenal broke away and scored their second through Saka, fed by Havertz.

The provider turned scorer for the third, heading home Trossard's corner from close range.

Now Arsenal need to survive the expected second-half onslaught from Spurs, who have hit the post through Romero and do look sharp, despite not playing for the last 2 weeks.

Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

Who would have thought it possible for Arsenal to score five against Chelsea, while keeping a clean sheet? Clearly not the individuals that critised Raya at the start of the season and those who said the Gunners needed a striker.

In fact, I still maintain that Arsenal could do with an Ivan Toney upfront, but they've got both Trossard and Havertz, who are clinical finishers and are on fire, so maybe not.

Even with Ben White chipping in with a brace, it was a score line that didn't flatter the hosts, while doing wonders for their already impressive goal difference.

Arsenal now need at least one more miracle: Man City to slip up. Maybe then, the title will be theirs.

Wolves 0-2 Arsenal

A cheeky Odegaard goal and a slightly flukey goal from Trossard were enough to take Arsenal back to the summit of the Premier League, albeit temporarily.

By the end of the game, the Gunners were pushing hard offensively to add to their already impressive goal difference, but Sa was a match for most of what was fired at him.

Aside from Arsenal's efforts at the end, the match was mostly a hard-fought victory.

You can't fought the Gunners' industriousness, but this wasn't vintage Arsenal, so hopefully they're saving their best for the two local derbies coming up against Chelsea and Spurs.

For now, Arsenal can enjoy a win after two successive defeats, but must now wait for Man City to slip, as otherwise the title is out of reach.

Man City 0-0 Arsenal

In the end, it was a great result for Liverpool, who now remain two points clear at the top of the table, but Arsenal deserve a lot of credit for shutting City out.

Arsenal had the better chances, Trossard hitting the target in the second half, but City had the most possession.

It was a dogged performance and Arsenal will rue the fact that Saka sustained an injury, which is not surprising as he looked half-fit by his standards.

It seems like the squad is getting stretched now, as even Martinelli looks held together with sellotape.

Still, no one can fault Arsenal's determination to not be second best two seasons running.
