Arsenal are riding high at the top of the Premier League following a day of results which went their way in dramatic fashion on Sunday.
The Gunners picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Leeds United in a topsy-turvy game at Elland Road before Manchester City slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool. The results opened up a four-point gap for Mikel Arteta’s side, who have now won nine of their 10 matches to announce themselves as serious title contenders.
Bukayo Saka scored for the third game in a row to highlight Arsenal ’s multi-faceted attack, which is not just reliant on Gabriel Jesus, while Aaron Ramsdale was exceptional in goal, denying Patrick Bamford on several occasions. Yet the match was far from straightforward.
