After a three-game losing streak that resulted in just one point and cast doubt on the team’s title credentials, Arsenal has performed admirably since.
The Gunners won again in the Midlands and came from behind twice to defeat Aston Villa 4-2 away last week.
Gabriel Martinelli’s goal early in the second half on Saturday helped Arsenal keep its lead over Leicester in the English Premier League.
Martinelli received a pass from Leandro Trossard, whose first-half goal was disallowed, and the Brazil winger cut in from the left to hit a low shot just inside the far post in the 46th minute.
That ensured that Arsenal would finish the day in the first place, five points ahead of second-place Manchester City heading into Saturday’s match at Bournemouth.
