Martin Odegaard curls one just wide for Arsenal but Bukayo Saka was offside in the build-up it appears so it wouldn't have counted.

Arsenal are just pinging the ball around with ease now. Ben White and Said Benrahma have a little bit of a squabble and the Gunners are given a free-kick.

It's all Arsenal now. Martin Odegaard feeds Ben White, who is playing like some kind of English Cafu, and his cross is put behind for a Gunners corner.

Mikel Arteta's first game as Arsenal boss was exactly three years ago today. It's been a slow burner but looking good now.
Eddie Nketiah
Nice goal.
Granit Xhaka to Ben White, who flicks the ball past Said Benrahma. He finds Martin Odegaard, who gives a first-time pass to Eddie Nketiah. The Arsenal striker spins past Thilo Kehrer and slots the ball into the far bottom corner.
Well done everyone.

Arsenal are genuine title contenders and are playing easily the best and most consistent football in the league. I should be pained to say that as a Spurs fan but they're playing football how I wish we were. Credit to them.

It's all about getting those points on the board. Arsenal can only do what they're doing. If they keep winning games, they'll be fine.
