Arsenal closed the gap at the top on Wednesday night with another home win over Manchester United.
It’s a common occurrence these days, and whilst Arsenal weren’t at their fluent best, they will be chuffed with the three points and clean sheet, especially with Gabriel and Calafiori out.
It took two more set-piece goals to get the win, but Arsenal did create some good open play openings that they failed to convert.

Men of the match: Jakub Kiwior. Came into a new left-hand side and looked great at left centre-back. He won 5 out of 6 duels and was tidy in possession too. Showed he can be relied upon when required.
