Arsenal delivered an emphatic performance to deliver a big win at The Emirates on Saturday evening.
The Gunners moved 6 pts clear atop the Premier League table – Manchester City have two games in hand but Arsenal have the points on the board, with three games to play.
Bukayo Saka was back in the starting line-up and looked his old self, fully fit and firing, he danced around Anthony Robinson before setting up Viktor Gyokeres who tapped in.
Then, Gyokeres returned the favour, nicely feeding in Saka who finished smartly at the near post. Before half-time there was time for a third, this time Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal slowed down in the second half and made some changes, with a vital second leg against Atletico Madrid to come on Tuesday night. Still a 3-goal win and big improvement in performance was the perfect tonic for the Gunners heading into such a game.
