Bukayo Saka marked his first Premier League start since March with a goal and an assist as Arsenal routed Fulham 3-0 at the Emirates on Saturday evening to go six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. The Gunners' 'Starboy' had only made his return from an Achilles heel injury during the midweek Champions League semi-final first-leg draw at Atletico Madrid but he showed few signs of rust in what was a must-win game for his team.

Arsenal were forced to settle for a hard-fought 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but they will feel aggrieved to have been denied a late penalty that could have won it after Viktor Gyokeres and Julian Alvarez had already traded spot-kicks either side of half-time.

Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close watch on Endrick's uncertain future at Real Madrid as Mikel Arteta looks to add more firepower to his attacking ranks this summer following a series of inconsistent performances in front of goal. The Brazilian sensation is currently rebuilding his reputation on loan at Lyon, but a permanent departure from the Bernabeu is no longer being ruled out.

Arsenal hoped that Viktor Gyokeres would be the final piece in their Premier League title-winning puzzle, but Paul Dickov has told GOAL why the Gunners are still in need of an Erling Haaland-esque No.9. A player of that ilk has been sought at Emirates Stadium for some time, with the lack of a prolific striker considered to have contributed significantly to near misses on the domestic coronation front.

The banner unfurled by Manchester City fans on the south stand of the Etihad Stadium on Sunday really did sum up the narrative nicely, "Panic on the streets on the London." After a devastating 2-1 defeat at the home of their Premier League title rivals, Arsenal are now just three points clear of Pep Guardiola's men - and having played one game more.
