It’s as you were at the top but, for Arsenal, as you like it. A day that had been billed as potentially huge in the title race only ends with a big win for the leaders, but also a significant boost beyond that. Gabriel Jesus scored his first goals since 1 October, quickly following a penalty with a flowing finish, to only further Arsenal’s momentum.
That is why, even if this 4-1 win over Leeds United didn’t have the fireworks of Manchester City’s earlier win over Liverpool by the same score, it was more than one of those “routine” title-race wins.
