Arsenal peaking at the right time says Arteta
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Ben STANSALL) Mikel Arteta warned Manchester City that Arsenal aren't finished yet after the Premier League leaders moved six points clear of their title rivals with a 3-0 win against Fulham on Saturday. Arteta's charges swept Fulham aside with three goals in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. Viktor Gyokeres opened the scoring and Bukayo Saka bagged the second before Gyokeres completed the demolition.
The Gunners have opened up a significant gap on second-placed City as they chase a first English title in 22 years. City will play the first of their two games in hand on Arsenal when they visit Everton on Monday. After showing signs of choking during damaging defeats against City and Bournemouth in April, Arsenal have steadied their nerves in time to pile pressure on Pep Guardiola's men.
City can draw level on points with Arsenal, who have a better goal difference at present, if they win their games in hand. Counting down Arsenal's remaining league matches, Arteta said: "Game two done. Another three to go.
We won the most games in the history of this club in a whole season and it's not finished. "It was a critical game because we knew the importance of the win and the goal difference in the Premier League. "It was a great team performance.
We started in the game as we wanted. Very lively. Really intense in the high press.
