The Premier League title race has taken a dramatic turn in favour of the North London side, and GoalZaza can now report that the Gunners have seized the lion. �s share of the advantage. With a commanding three nil victory over Fulham at the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta. �s men have opened up a six point gap at the summit of the table over the reigning champions, Manchester City. This is no small matter in the scheme of things, for every point dropped by Pep Guardiola. �s machine is a point gained for the chasing pack. Yet, it is Arsenal who now hold the aces, and the powers that be at the Football Association will be watching closely as the fixture list unfolds. The Gunners were clinical from the first whistle, pressing high and moving the ball with a purpose that left the visiting defence in disarray. Their front line, which includes the Nigerian international and Super Eagles talisman, Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a move to the Emirates in recent GoalZaza transfer windows, was not directly involved in the scoring. However, the midfield trio of Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard gave a good account of themselves, dictating the tempo and providing the platform for the forwards to flourish. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Leandro Trossard caused havoc, with the Brazilian forward scoring a brace to take his season tally to twelve goals in all competitions. The clean sheet was marshalled by the stalwart defender Gabriel Magalhães, whose partnership with William Saliba remains formidable. At the end of the day, this victory is a statement of intent. Manchester City, who play their game in hand later this week, will feel the pressure mounting. For Arsenal, the path to glory is now clearly visible, but they must maintain this resilience. The Nigerian supporters who pack the viewing centres in Surulere and Ikeja will be buzzing with optimism. The atmosphere at the popular. �No Pain No Gain. � viewing centre in Lagos was electric as fans screamed over every tackle and goal. Many were already counting their potential winnings on betting slips, while the older men in agbada debated whether this Arsenal side has the character to finish the job. The cold bottles of malt and soft drinks flowed freely as chants rang out, reminding everyone that in this dramatic title race, the advantage is firmly in red and white.
