Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 in the 35th round of the Premier League. Viktor Gyokeres (27 years old), with two goals and an assist, was the MVP.
The schedule in the Island was such that the “gunners” played twice since Manchester City's last championship game.
That allowed Mikel Arteta's team to break away to 6 points from the “citizens”, awaiting the response of Pep Guardiola's students.
After 1-0 with Newcastle last stage, Arsenal went 3-0 today against Fulham.
