Bukayo Saka latches onto Martin Odegaard's through ball and beats Illan Meslier at his near post
GOAL Leeds 0-1 Arsenal (35 mins)Bukayo Saka latches onto Martin Odegaard's through ball and beats Illan Meslier at his near post Michael Owen believes Mikel Arteta's men are already treading the same path as Leicester City prior to the Foxes' record-breaking triumph six years ago. He told : "Possibly after today people will be thinking, 'Hang on, four points is a nice little cushion.' I cast my mind back to Leicester and it certainly wouldn't be a surprise like the Leicester season but I do cast my mind back to when Leicester went four points clear and 'It's only Leicester, they won't win it,' or whatever." The Englishman also noted that Arteta's side have got more quality than Leicester's title-winning team. He added that people will start taking the north London side more seriously if they win their next few games. He said: "Arsenal have got a lot more ability than that team and I do think if they continue like this for the next three, four, five games, if they continue winning, then all of a sudden people will be thinking. 'Wow, they are the real deal, they are the biggest thorn in the side of maybe.'" The former Liverpool forward added: "And after today's game, Manchester City obviously not picking up three points, all of a sudden, it strengthens their grip at the top there. It's going to be a strange season with the World Cup impeding, encroaching on it, let's say, but stranger things have happened and they're looking good all of a sudden." Saka's goal
