Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with Eddie Nketiah scoring twice in a 3-2 defeat of Manchester United, including a 90th-minute winner, in a rip-roaring clash at The Emirates on Sunday.
Arsenal's title credentials are no longer being questioned and victory over United was another huge statement after champions City had earlier got to within two points.
It took them only 17 minutes to take the lead and it was no surprise it was the in-form Rashford who scored the goal. United needlessly conceded a corner after trying to play out from the back and Arsenal worked the ball to Granit Xhaka who delivered an appetising cross for Nketiah to time his leap perfectly and thump a header into the back of the net.
The hosts moved up a gear in the second half and Saka gave them the lead in the 53rd minute with a goal to rival Rashford's. Cutting in from the right he fired a stunning left-foot shot that gave De Gea no chance.
