Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko shows true colours with Manchester City title message

Arsenal's five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table was preserved on Sunday with a comfortable 3-0 win over Fulham.

All three goals came in 26 first-half minutes through Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. The Gunners were presented with little trouble from Marco Silva's side to tick-off another fixture in the title race.

Manchester City did what they could do on Saturday evening to temporarily cut the gap to only two points by defeating Crystal Palace 1-0. Pep Guardiola's men won't shy away from the race with Arsenal, but the games are slowly ticking away.

Amongst many, there's an argument to be made that City have handed the Gunners an advantage by allowing Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to join the north Londoners. Jesus departed the reigning champions after Erling Haaland arrived and was purchased for £45million whilst left-back Zinchenko cost only £32m.

The pair have been crucial to Arsenal's remarkable turnaround in fortunes this season and following the win at Craven Cottage, Zinchenko took in the atmosphere from the away following alongside his teammates.

Television cameras were on queue to catch the Ukraine international singing along to the popular 'We've got super Mik Arteta' that was continuously belted out by the away fans. There were also nice moments involving Jesus, who returned to action after suffering a medial ligament damage at the World Cup.

The Brazilian showed his appreciation to the travelling supporters after coming on in the 77th-minute. Jesus' return comes at the perfect time for the Gunners ahead of the final 11 games of the season.
