Arsenal reminded the Premier League that their lead at the top of the table is not going to go away easily.
There were some concerns that the discourse surrounding Arsenal was heading towards ‘bottling’ territory after going three Premier League games without a win.
Thankfully, the narrative changed when Mikel Arteta’s side marched to Elland Road and beat in-form Leeds United 4-0 on the road.
The win over Leeds added itself to the record books as Arsenal’s impressive away record continued, putting pressure on Manchester City and Aston Villa to also get wins on matchday 24.

Positives, negatives, let us know 👀
Arsenal’s clean sheet record is humiliating their Premier League rivals
While Tottenham’s clash with Man City will attract attention from the Arsenal camp, it’s not only Pep Guardiola’s side who would’ve been wary of the Gunners’ big win at Elland Road.
That’s because the victory also put rivals Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs under the microscope.
By recording their 12th clean sheet of the season, Arsenal showed their dominance in a humiliating way for their rivals.
Arsenal have more clean sheets than United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs have wins in the Premier League this season, which is hilarious.
Tottenham are yet to hit double-figures for wins this term, while the other three just hit the 10-win milestone.
The Arsenal squad, with 16 wins, have experienced more clean sheets than those teams have celebrated victories, which sums up the Gunners’ dominance in a nutshell.
David Raya could obliterate his personal record
Clean sheets are Arsenal’s expertise, which is beneficial to David Raya, who is leading the way in the race for the Golden Glove.
Fill the blanks: David Raya will end the Premier League season with __ clean sheets
Quite incredibly, the win over Leeds saw Raya move to within one clean sheet of his record from the entirety of last season.
With 14 games remaining, Raya could obliterate his personal best of 16 clean sheets in a single Premier League season, a record that would surely win Arsenal the title.
The all-time record stands at a phenomenal 24, which Raya could match if he were to only concede in two of his remaining matches.
Even for Arsenal’s standards, that’s highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
