The Swedish international shone against Fulham, scoring in the 9th minute and deep into stoppage time in the first half, and in the 40th minute he also set up Bukayo Saka's goal for the final 3:0.
Arsenal have now gained a six-point lead over Manchester City, but they also have two games in hand. It is significant, however, that they won convincingly, as they now have a goal difference of plus 41, while City have plus 37.
If the two best English teams are level on points at the end of the league, goal difference will decide. This was the case recently when Pep Guardiola's team took first place, thanks to the fact that they had more goals scored - they scored 66 and conceded 29, while Arsenal were also on a plus 37, but scored fewer goals (63:26).
