Overview
- Arsenal’s 3-0 win at the Emirates on Saturday featured a Viktor Gyokeres brace and a Bukayo Saka goal plus assist on his first start since March.
- The victory opened a six-point lead with three league matches left, with Manchester City holding two games in hand and Arsenal now four goals better on goal difference.
- Mikel Arteta managed minutes with five changes to the XI, substituting Saka at half-time and later resting Gyokeres and Declan Rice to protect fitness for Europe.
- Teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly made his first senior start in central midfield, completed about 97% of his passes, and earned strong public praise from Arteta.
- Riccardo Calafiori had a goal ruled out for offside and later hit the bar, as focus turns to City’s trip to Everton on Monday and Arsenal’s home second leg against Atletico with the tie level at 1-1.
