The final stretch of the Premier League season is finally underway after the last international break of the campaign concluded this week. Arsenal started the weekend eight points ahead of title rivals Manchester City with an extra game played, but their 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool early on Saturday meant pressure was back on the Gunners to maintain their gap.
Mikel Arteta’s side welcomed relegation candidates Leeds United to the Emirates Stadium in hope of continuing their winning streak. A new look frontline of Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli certainly made their mark.
The former grabbed his first goal since his return from a long-term knee injury ten minutes before the halfway point of the clash. Ben White doubled the lead shortly after half-time as Jesus quickly added another for his brace.
