Arsenal's momentum was maintained with a fine victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, as Mikel Arteta's side picked up a 2-0 win against their rivals for European football.
Goals from Gabriel and Emile Smith Rowe moved Arsenal to fifth after the final whistle, level on points with fourth-placed West Ham - who are yet to play this weekend.
As well as being on the scoresheet, Gabriel put in a stellar defensive shift with a performance that continued to catch the eye - having missed the start of the season due to injury.
His defensive partnership with Ben White is blossoming, with the pair firmly establishing themselves as Mikel Arteta's first-choice duo at the back.
A clean sheet against Leicester for the pair was a welcome outcome, with the Gunners keeping their opponents at bay for only the fourth time in the Premier League this season - and the first since a goalless draw against Brighton.
While the growing partnership has been clear to see on the field, it's apparent that there is also a relationship developing off it.
Following the win against Leicester, Gabriel took to social media to celebrate the win by posting on Instagram: "+3 points and clean sheet. C'mon Gunners".
While White's response was only four letters and a single emoji, it will be welcomed by the fans as he replied: "My CB" - alongside a heart.
With the pair both under the age of 25, Arsenal fans will hope that this is a pairing they'll be able to enjoy for the long-term.
Arsenal have a week off due to the absence of European competition this season and are back in action next weekend against Watford.
