Latest win takes Arsenal four points clear at the top
Arteta’s side now have seven-point lead over Liverpool
Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace as the most valuable of the season after seeing his side open up a four-point lead at the Premier League’s summit.
In what was a nervous Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, Eberechi Eze’s first-half volley against his former club proved to be the winner. With Liverpool slipping to a fourth straight league defeat at Brentford on Saturday, Arsenal finished the weekend seven points clear of the defending champions.
“I told the boys that I value more this victory than any other victory this season,” Arteta said. “We knew the difficulty of it after playing every three days. It was a big opportunity as well, with the things that happened during the weekend.
