Arsenal survived a late scare to move four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with a gritty win over Leeds United which underlined their title credentials on Sunday.
With City not in action against Liverpool until 4.30pm, the hard-fought narrow victory, their ninth of 10 league games this season, was exactly what the doctor ordered - but it was far from straightforward.
After a lengthy delay caused by a power outage at Elland Road, Arsenal took the lead through the in-form Bukayo Saka. Played in by Martin Odegaard, Saka was not phased by a tight angle, blasting into the roof of the net to score for the third straight Arsenal game and make it 1-0.
