Arsenal are seven points clear, as Jover's lethal weapon keeps bulldozing Premier League

This is Nicolas Jover's world we're living in.

Mikel Arteta's assistant at Arsenal, famed for set-piece strategies, has excelled, turning the Gunners into a deadly team from corners and free kicks.

That formula powered the Premier League leaders Saturday night as they dismissed Leeds United at Elland Road (4-0) and restored a seven-point EPL lead.

Two first-half corner kicks from the right, two goals. Add Victor Gyokeres' and Gabriel Jesus' clinical finishing in the second half, and Arsenal's dominance was complete.

Daniel Farke's men, and not only they, were hoping to put up serious resistance but were brutally swept off. It was a one-sided match, and the title contenders showed no mercy at all.

Liverpool could take only a point at Elland Road despite scoring three goals in December, while Chelsea were torn to pieces 3-1 at the same ground. Alas, that Farke's sorcery seems unapplicable for the rushing Arteta's machine. And his right hand, Jover.

They struck midway through the first half, following a corner from the right. Although Leeds survived at first, Zubimendi met Madueke’s sharp cross and the breakthrough was there, 0-1.

The same player, Madueke, opted for another cross ten minutes later - only this time, intentionally or not, aiming directly for the Olympic goal. Leeds’ keeper Darlow found himself in a challenging situation, and instead of clearing the ball, he punched it over Dominic Calvert-Lewin straight into his own net, 0-2.

From that moment on, you could almost feel the tension was off, the outcome was definite and there was only one way to finish it - the Arsenal way.

Gyokeres proved he's been in incredible form, finding the back of the net for the third time in the last four games before Gabriel Jesus made a slalom through Leed's box to seal the landslide win, 0-4.

For at least 24 hours, the north Londoners will be seven points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa. At this point, it seems that any scenario apart from Arsenal's triumphant run is basically more than improbable.
