Arsenal overcome what looked to be another potential banana skin, comfortably beating Brighton 4-2 away from home. We ask – once again – is it time to take Arsenal seriously, or very seriously? They are now seven points clear at the top thanks to Manchester City and Newcastle dropping points against Everton and Leeds respectively.

Elsewhere, Wout Faes is Liverpool’s man of the match in providing two incredible own goals to keep Liverpool in the hunt for the top four, another team looking to those coveted Champions League spots, Manchester United, win despite a sleepy Marcus Rashford.

Plus: great results for Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest against below-par Spurs and Chelsea sides, Fulham continue to be very good and West Ham’s woes continue.
