After Manchester City dropped points at Everton, the Premier League title race is now in Arsenal's hands.

It is only two weeks since Arsenal suffered back-to-back defeats in the league, but after finding a way past Atletico as well as having a five-point lead at the top of the table, momentum is fully behind them.

"Where this club has come from over the last few years - things that hurt you as a player," said Rice, alluding to Arsenal's three successive second-placed finishes in the league.

"The manager has taken full control. We have kept building - we have kept pushing each other.

"This competition and the Premier League. We have gone full throttle. We have found ourselves in a good position with less than a month to go. Sunday now is a massive one."

Striker Viktor Gyokeres, who scored twice at the weekend, also played a massive part in 's winning goal and his performance was one of the best since he has been at the club.
