'Things will happen naturally' - National media react to Arsenal win that boosts top-four hopes

Arsenal stepped ever closer to a top-four finish with a nervy 2-1 win over Leeds United at the Emirates, as forward Eddie Nketiah twice found the net.

The Whites were reduced to 10 men when Luke Ayling was shown a straight red card for his challenge on Gabriel Martinelli to further compound their relegation woes. The result leaves Mikel Arteta's side just one point behind third place Chelsea, and with only three games remaining, the Gunners could now secure their best league finish since the 2015/16 campaign.

With 22-year-old Nketiah's future still not set in stone with his contract expiring at the end of the season, many pundits and former professionals have commented on now being the only chance the forward could get at nailing down a solid place in Arteta's plans.
