Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal will still require ‘almost perfection’ to win the Premier League title – despite Sunday’s derby victory over rivals Tottenham taking them eight points clear at the top of the table.
An own goal from Hugo Lloris and a long-range effort from Martin Odegaard gave Arsenal their first victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – and their first league win at Spurs since 2014.
It means, after Manchester City’s defeat at rivals United, Arsenal extended their lead atop the table as they chase a first title since the 2003/04 Invincibles.
