"Saka, 24, celebrated becoming the fourth youngest player to reach 300 games for Arsenal with the deflected first-half strike that sealed a priceless result at the Amex Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side were underwhelming for long periods, but their work ethic and defensive efficiency allowed them to open up a seven-point lead over second-placed Manchester City."
"City's surprise 2-2 draw against lowly Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday left the destiny of the title in Arsenal's hands. Although City have a game in hand on Arsenal and host the leaders in April, the Gunners have reeled off three successive league wins to quell suggestions that they lack the mentality required to cope with the pressure of the title race."
"Having blown substantial leads to hand City the title in 2023 and 2024, Arsenal have survived the twists and turns more maturely this time and a first English crown since 2004 is now within touching distance."

Manchester City's surprise 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest on the same evening left the title race in Arsenal's favor.
