It wasn't their most dominant or entertaining performance of the season, but Arsenal were always in control. Back atop the table, they go.
They had gathered in the Royal Box en masse, each of them brimming with expectation and excitement. Not since 2008 have Tottenham Hotspur toasted a trophy triumph – no one wanted to miss it.
Spurs fans will find it rather funny, while it's sure to make Arsenal fans sick to their stomach.
This was a nervy, slightly fearful Arsenal display but it is very much about the results, not performances, at this late stage and three precious points against Manchester United ensure that the title race will at least go down to the final day.
