Arsenal handed major Premier League title race boost over Man City as Fulham lose key player

Arsenal are in the midst of one of their biggest Premier League season for years, sitting top of the table in a title race against Manchester City. With just a few months remaining in the campaign and five points between the two sides, Mikel Arteta will need every bit of help he can get to ensure they get over the line.

The Gunners left it late to find a winner last time out against relegation battlers Bournemouth, going a goal down just nine seconds in which later doubled by the hour mark. Ben White and Thomas Partey hit back shortly after, but it appeared as though the game would drift to a draw.

That wasn't the case though, as the Gunners scored the decisive goal in the 97th minute through a Reiss Nelson goal that sent the Emirates Stadium into raptures. It's those fine margins that appear to be giving the north London outfit an edge and they may need a few more of those in their favour come late May.
