March was always going to be a make of break period for Arsenal’s season. And though with 12 games still to play the race for Champions League football is far from over, their fifth consecutive Premier League victory carried something of note.
Maybe not a statement, for this 2-0 victory over Leicester City was relatively straightforward, a far cry from the tense affair of last season’s 1-0 defeat at this venue. But certainly, a run that was only matched by Unai Emery’s 22-game unbeaten run in 2018 carries greater promise of riches than that subsequently provided. Fourth spot, after 24 hours out of their possession, is theirs once more. There’s every chance they won’t relinquish it again.
