Arsenal moved four points clear of Tottenham in the race to return to the Champions League for next season by beating Leeds United 2-1 yesterday.
Our side led for almost the entire 90 minutes thanks to Eddie Nketiah taking full advantage of a mistake by Olivier Meslier, and the same man doubled our lead with a neat one-touch finish less than 15 minutes into play.
While the scoreline ended up as 2-1, the gulf in the two side’s performances were much larger however, although the loss of Luke Ayling to a straight red card in the first-half made it even more difficult for their side to mount a comeback.
We now go into the North London Derby on Thursday knowing a win will secure us a place in the top-four, while even a loss would mean that we still hold the advantage going into the final two matches.

Looking forward to the derby with tail in our backs
Arteta should not play defendive. Be offensive from word go. Just make sure Son and Kane do not get the ball.
