Gary Neville and Roy Keane continue to be proven wrong on Arsenal Premier League title bid

Arsenal easily swept aside Fulham on Sunday afternoon to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners beat Marco Silva’s side 3-0 at Craven Cottage to go five points clear of Manchester City.

Goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard ensured it was a comfortable afternoon for Mikel Arteta's team, with Leandro Trossard setting up all three goals. Arsenal were also boosted by the return of Gabriel Jesus, who came off the bench to make his first appearance since undergoing knee surgery following an injury playing for Brazil at the World Cup in November.

"Really happy," Arteta said when asked to give his thoughts on the game. "It’s a really tough place to come, they’re a really well organised team and I think we dominated the game, we created lots of chances, we kept a clean sheet and we won the game in a convincing way. So I’m very happy."
