Mikel Arteta's side made it seven successive wins in the Premier League to restore their eight-point lead at the top of the table
Arsenal answered Manchester City's win against Liverpool earlier on Saturday with a comfortable 4-1 success against Leeds United to restore their eight-point advantage at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's side were far from their best, but two goals from Gabriel Jesus – his first since October – were enough to see them to a seventh successive league success.
Ben White was also on target for Arsenal, as was Granit Xhaka, while a deflected Rasmus Kristensen shot 15 minutes from time at least gave the travelling Leeds fans something to cheer.

Another good performance in the absence of Saliba.

Another excellent assist. Really bright second half.

A good day for the manager. No Saliba, Saka sick, but his side still won comfortably after City threw down the gauntlet.
