Arsenal have been told why their win over Leeds United was the ‘game that secured the Premier League title’. The Gunners claimed a 4-0 win over the Whites in their top-flight clash at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon to extend their lead at the top of the table.

Mikel Arteta’s side secured the victory thanks to goals from Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus, as well as a Karl Darlow own goal.

The win moved Arsenal to seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with their title rivals set to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon in their game in hand.

The Gunners bounced back from their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend to get all three points against Leeds, and Paul Merson has explained why he believes the victory will prove decisive in the title race.
