EPL Arsenal back on top after smacking shambolic Chelsea, pressure on City
Martin Odegaard’s first-half double and a Gabriel Jesus strike had Arsenal done and dusted by half-time as they halted the four-match winless run, which will likely cost them the title.
The Gunners had lost grip of the lead last week when they lost miserably to Manchester City 4-1 at the Etihad.
A brilliant show on Tuesday at the Emirates saw them wheel back to the top with 78 points, two ahead of City.
However, they’re disadvantaged by the fact that Pep Guardiola’s men have two games to spare with Arsenal remaining with only four to go.
“…if we want to have any chance to win this league we had to win today,” Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager expressed his optimism- after the win.
