Arsenal went six points clear at the top of the table with a comfortable 3-0 win over Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.
Bukayo Saka made his first start since his achilles injury and nine mintues into his return, superbly set up Viktor Gyökeres for an easy finish.
The England international got on the scoresheet in the 40th minute, with Gyökeres turning provider this time, and finished past Bernd Leno's near post with aplomb.
Gyökeres got Arsenal's third before half time with a header from a Leandro Trossard cross.
The win lifted some of the anxiety that has hung around the Emirates in recent weeks and the dominant win put the pressure in the title race back on Manchester City. It was also the perfect way for the Gunners to warm up before their Champions League semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
