In the end, it was not a walk in the park and although Arsenal scored enough, they didn't manage to be squeaky tight at the back. Consequently, the Gunners only made it to second place rather than top of the table.
As usual, there was some crazy refereeing, but luckily the impressive Calafiori did not get his marching orders. On another day, he might have done for two soft yellow-card offences, but the referee wasn't as seemingly biased as many seen this season.
In fact, Arsenal needed a VAR decision to go their way for the fourth goal, shuffled in by Havertz.
It was the third goal that clinched it though and, by rights, it should count as Trossard's second, as it was his goal-bound shot that beat the almost impregnable keeper. As it got a touch on the way, the dubious goals panel will Rob Trossard, no doubt! What an injustice!
The best goal of the game was definitely Justin's equaliser: it was simply stunning. Their second half performance makes you think the Foxes will stay up, especially as Arsenal were fluent in possession. However, the Gunners were guilty of being reluctant to shoot in a way that was reminiscent of the Hleb era under Wenger. Hleb always reminded of Harry Enfield's Charlie Charlie-Charles sketch, when the winger actually glues the football to his feet.
Luckily, these days, Arsenal have more of a cutting edge with two productive wingers in Saka and Martinelli, who was replaced by Sterling late on.
The most eye-catching substitute was Nwanieri, who went close to scoring with a long-range drive. The teenager's footwork is a sight to behold and his confidence and fearlessness suggests that he will go far.
Whether Arsenal will actually go a step further and clinch the title remains to be seen, but to be level on points with City after some difficult fixtures bodes well. I'm not so sure that they're the masters of the dark arts, as claimed by City, but they have enough nous to push the champions all the way this season.
