Arsenal showed no sign of feeling the pressure in their bid for a first Premier League title since 2004 as they strolled to a 3-0 victory at Fulham on Sunday to answer chasing Manchester City's win 24 hours earlier.
Arsenal restored their five-point advantage and could go eight clear before the looming international break when they host Crystal Palace next weekend while Manchester City are involved in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
"Really happy. It's a really tough place to come, they're a really well organised team and I think we dominated the game, we created lots of chances, we kept a clean sheet and we won the game in a convincing way," manager Mikel Arteta said. "It's a massive boost. He's been out for a while now. We know what he'll give to the team. We're excited to have him back," captain Odegaard said.A week after losing 7-0 to Liverpool, Manchester United at least kept a clean sheet although it was a day of frustration against a battling Southampton side at Old Trafford.
"It's going to be tough, he's a big player. We will miss him for four games but we have a big squad. We have players coming from the bench who do well. We will keep working hard," United keeper David De Gea said.Newcastle got their top-four challenge back on track with substitute Almiron coming off the bench to seal the points against Wolves with his 11th league goal of the campaign.
