The team led by Mikel Arteta has four consecutive victories in the league competition, has not lost since that match against Manchester City (1-3) and remains the leader with a five-point advantage over its closest rival.
Arsenal remains unstoppable on its way to winning the league title. I was visiting Fulham this Sunday, who still dreams of reaching the European positions because they are only three points behind Liverpool, but the truth is that they have to deal with superior teams such as the current runner-up in the Champions League or Newcastle, both much superior both economically as well as in the sports section.
Already in the first half the clash was quite on track in favor of the visitors. Gabriel Magalhães made it 0-1 around minute 21, his namesake Martinelli scored the second before half an hour was up and Martin Odegaard put the third just before the break. The three goals had something in common: they came through the assistance of Leandro Trossard.
The day before, on Saturday, Pep Guardiola’s men did their homework. They did not win in such a solvent and bulky way as their main contender to win the Premier League, but they still added the three points. On the visit to the Selhurst Park Stadium, where Patrick Vieira occupies the local bench, a goal from Erling Haaland from eleven meters decided the duel with less than a quarter of an hour to go. The Norwegian striker accumulates 28 goals in 26 participations.
The Gunners arrive at the European event against Sporting de Portugal (2-2 in the first leg) with morale through the roof and aware that they will need to win in front of their fans to get a ticket to the quarterfinals. After, they will have two consecutive commitments at home (against Crystal Palace and Leeds United) that present themselves as good opportunities to add the six points before going to Anfield, where Manchester United, also a rival in continental competition, recently fell 7-0.
