This past week was provided much-needed wins for Arsenal fans - and the club in general. After three consecutive Premier League defeats, many were already projecting that Mikel Arteta's side would hand the fourth place spot to bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the battle for Champions League qualification.
But with Spurs failing to win in their last two games, while Arsenal secured huge victories over Chelsea and Manchester United who had also begun looking in with a big chance, the Gunners are now back in a solid position to take the all-important fourth spot.
With Spurs drawing 0-0 away at Brentford in the late kick-off on Saturday, it means Arsenal are once again in control of the top-four race with five games remaining. From trailing their rivals by three points a week ago, they now have a two-point lead after recent twists and turns.
