Mikel Arteta saw Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League - and then admitted their title dream would have been over if they had not won.
Gunners captain Martin Odegaard scored twice as Arsenal bounced back from their bad run of four games without a win to pile more misery on Chelsea. Of course, Manchester City can reclaim top spot by beating West Ham on Wednesday night but the Arsenal boss insisted his players showed they are still ready to fight until the end.
Arsenal boss Arteta said: “If we wanted to have any chance to win this league we had to win today. We want to be back on top and our job was back today. The players still believe for sure, we discussed that. There are still four games to go. We cannot drop our heads now.
