Arteta’s men seem to have all their attention and focus on qualifying for Europe next season. Also, the former Arsenal captain has found a way to get everyone at the club believing again. Saka’s goal was Arsenal’s 2000th in the Premier League and that was enough to seal a very important win.
The Gunners still have a game in hand but are already four points clear of closest top 4 rival Manchester United.
