TOP GUNS ARE STILL FIRING!

Rice rifles home the cherry on cake for Arteta's leaders

ARSENAL are matching club records set by The Invincibles yet it still might not prove enough to win them the Premier League title.

This statement 3-0 triumph was their 26th top-flight victory of the campaign the same number achieved by Arsene Wenger's immortals of 2004.

Arsenal took care of their own business emphatically courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice - even if at times they had to ride their luck.

When they're in this swashbuckling, free-flowing mood, Arsenal must also fancy their chances of collecting maximum points against upcoming opponents Manchester United and Everton.

For all of Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold's brilliance, it still feels an awful shame England will be starved of Ben White and Saka's irresistible chemistry down the right flank at this summer's European Championships.

Not only is White a fine defender but his ability to affect attacks means he is worth his weight in gold to Mikel Arteta.
