GUNNERS TITLE BID IS BACK ON

- BY MARK WALKER

ARSENAL reaffirmed their title credentials with victory at Leeds to lift them seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Martin Zubimendi and Karl Darlow's own goal put the Gunners 2-0 up at the interval before second-half efforts from Viktor Gyokeres and substitute Gabriel Jesus got Mikel Arteta's side back on track.

The Gunners made it eight straight wins against the Whites and remain unbeaten against them in 16 matches, stretching back to 2003, while they have not lost at Elland Road since November 2000.

Arsenal followed up goalless league draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest with last week's home defeat to Manchester United, prompting suggestions they were feeling the pressure in pursuit of their first domestic title since 2004.
