Arsenal clinched a crucial 2-0 win away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
A dominating first-half display from the Gunners secured them all three points thanks to a Hugo Lloris own goal and a powerful Martin Odegaard strike. Mikel Arteta's side dropped off slightly after half-time but some goalkeeping heroics from Aaron Ramsdale gave Arsenal their first Premier League away win over their local rivals since 2014.
That result now means the Gunners are eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table, with the Citizens losing 2-1 to Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. Still, United legend Gary Neville isn't fully sold on the north Londoners' title charge - predicting them to finish behind both City and his former side.

When asked if Arteta and Co will win the title, Neville said on his podcast : "No. But I said Leicester wouldn't win the league. They won't win the league. Manchester City will win the league, and I think Man Utd will finish second, and I know that will annoy Arsenal fans."
He added: "The reality of it is, I think at some point Man City will hit a run. Once they do, they've got to play Arsenal twice. With City, is Erling Haaland not getting the service, or does he need to do more? I'll ask that question.
"Does he need to do more, or does he need to be patient?
"If Erling Haaland starts to kick on, if City start to purr, if the defence starts to shore up a bit more than it has done, and they need Ruben Dias back if they can, I think City will win it.
"At some point, there will be a very difficult period for Arsenal this season. Is it conceivable that Arsenal are going to continue as they are? I don't think it is.
"Could they draw two and lose one in a three-game period, and if they did that, their lead is gone, and the pack is up with them? That's what I think is going to happen, we'll see a traditional Premier League season where a team goes out, the pacemaker, and then they'll get drawn back in a little bit. But I still think that this season is going to be far better for Arsenal than I ever imagined it would be.
"I know Arsenal fans will batter me, as they have been doing for the last four months, I hope you win it. I think for Mikel Arteta, it's so difficult for young managers to break that [Antonio] Conte, [Jurgen] Klopp, [Carlo] Ancelotti, [Pep] Guardiola, [Jose] Mourinho mould and become one of those super managers. You can't break them.
"If Arteta wins the league this season, he breaks into that bunch. He's doing it anyway, because his football is fantastic. But he needs to win that trophy. A Champions League, a Premier League, they are the super managers, the ones that win those trophies. So, fingers crossed that they do win it, if Man Utd can't, which I don't think they can, because I'd rather have that for the Premier League.
"Man City have won too many titles for me."
