'What a weekend' - Arsenal fans revel in Chelsea victory and Tottenham defeat to Liverpool

Arsenal supporters are enjoying a great weekend of football after their side returned back to the top of the Premier League table after beating Chelsea, while their north London rivals Spurs suffered defeat at home to Liverpool.

Gabriel Magalhaes scored the only goal of the game in the lunchtime fixture at Stamford Bridge, sliding home Bukayo Saka's in-swinging corner, with the Gunners then producing an extremely professional performance to see out the victory, with Mikel Arteta very complimentary of his team.

"We are a young team, but we showed a lot maturity today, a lot of composure, a lot courage to play on this stage the way we have played. That’s easy to say but actually very difficult to do. I think the boys were absolutely phenomenal today," he said.

The weekend then got much better for the Gunners as their fierce north London rivals suffered a second successive home Premier League defeat courtesy of two goals from Mohamed Salah, with Harry Kane's second half strike merely a consolation.

Here's how Arsenal fans reacted, with some also delighted by the fact Manchester United were beaten 3-1 at Aston Villa:
