Arsenal cruised past Fulham yesterday to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners had not won a game by more than a two-goal margin since their 2-0 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen on March 17. However, a double from Viktor Gyökeres and a strike from Bukayo Saka eased any nerves.
Manchester City, who have two games in hand, must now beat Everton away tomorrow to keep pace with their title rivals.
