00:09This is North London.
00:34So, 22 long years since Arsenal last won it, 22 days from now, we crown our next champion.
00:44Is this their time? The next instalment is moments away.
00:49For the penultimate time this season, we are thrilled to have you join us at the Emirates Stadium.
00:55This is Arsenal's amphitheatre of anticipation and anxiety.
01:01You could power the nation on the nervous energy generated here.
01:05Arsenal to go six clear, with Manchester City not in action again until Monday.
01:12Arsenal between European semi-finals, so much on their plate, a packed agenda.
01:18And once again, Lee Dixon, Arsenal champion of yesteryear,
01:22they find themselves stuck in this sort of truce between fear and thrill.
01:30Yeah, and it's a great place to be.
01:34Leandro Trossa has heaved it across the face.
01:38Two good bits there.
01:42Oh, Skelly.
01:45Saka.
01:48Oh, he's set him down.
01:50Saka across goal, and Jokic there.
01:53To tuck it away.
01:56And give Arsenal early uplift.
02:00And boy, that is some uplift.
02:09Well, we're talking about the possible impact of Saka being re-established on this right-hand side.
02:18Checking onto that favoured left foot.
02:19You think the ball's going to come in the box, but he's got this in his locker.
02:22He's got the going down the outside in there just in case he needs it.
02:27Once Robinson just shows him on the inside.
02:31Saka.
02:33Lewis Skelly.
02:38Flung in by Reiss and matched behind by Anderson for another Arsenal corner.
02:43He's protecting the near post for Fulham.
02:45Coming up to Lewis Skelly.
02:47Now Eze.
02:49Chossa.
02:51Aimed up at Gabriel.
02:53Leyno has lost it.
02:56And Jokic hit it, and Saka followed up.
02:59And Traktor shot a yard wide.
03:04Saliba is closest to the goalkeeper.
03:08Saka delivers to the near posts.
03:12Rice kept it alive.
03:15Saka.
03:17Rice.
03:18Oh, that's sweet.
03:20Bukayo Saka.
03:22Eze!
03:24Bounces out here for White.
03:29Trossard's trick.
03:31Calafiori!
03:35Now Arsenal field goal!
03:43This goal's removed the pressure.
03:45Champagne court popping in the stadium.
03:48The relief comes with this second goal.
03:51Arsenal heaping on the pressure.
03:53Once again, it's the theme.
03:54Get the ball into areas where you can hurt the opponent.
03:58And...
03:59Standing in an offside position.
04:01Wasn't picked up on field, but...
04:03Seeing that replay.
04:05Didn't...
04:05Was impossible for us to see up here.
04:08But as soon as you see that replay, Lee, he's offside.
04:11Yeah.
04:11With left foot.
04:12He just goes a little bit early.
04:14And he's definitely...
04:16Offside.
04:17It was a pretty chunky margin, I think.
04:20And...
04:20Jared Gillett is...
04:22Breaking the news formally.
04:24That Arsenal's lead...
04:26Remains...
04:26Just one.
04:27Just trying to figure out if we can put a champagne cork back in the bottle.
04:30Quite hard to do that, isn't it?
04:31We're going to have to now.
04:39Is it?
04:40Oh, it's a nicely weighted ball.
04:41Now, Jokeres.
04:44Kept at bay again by Anderson.
04:46This is a sweet ball though for...
04:48Bukayo Saka!
04:52Who drills it in like he meant it.
04:59He's made one.
05:01He's scored one.
05:02There only is one.
05:04Bukayo Saka.
05:09Well, I talked about Jokeres earlier on about the shifts he puts in.
05:14The willingness for him to run into channels and help the team out.
05:18A lot of his runs go unnoticed.
05:21And he looks up as if to say, just give it to me.
05:23Give it to my feet.
05:24Put it in the channel.
05:25I'll run for you.
05:26On this occasion, the ball goes in.
05:32I think you'll find that Alan Smith, who scored that night, is working for the domestic broadcaster.
05:37Oh, there we go.
05:38So he probably brought it up.
05:42Saka.
05:44Calafiori.
05:46Saliba!
05:46Oh!
05:49Well, the ruling riot right now.
05:53Not painful at all.
05:55Calafiori.
05:56Ese!
05:58Dare I say, they're quite enjoying it.
06:03Saka's past Gabriel had to be prompt.
06:05Trossar's on his way.
06:07He's a borrowed second at the end of the half now for Arsenal.
06:12Leandro Trossar.
06:13Leandro Trossar.
06:14Leandro Trossar.
06:16Leandro Trossar.
06:35Leandro Trossar.
06:38Well, borrowed time, as you said, in terms of stoppage time.
06:41But this is goal of the three that we've seen.
06:45Brilliant interception from a high-risk ball by Gabriel.
06:49I say, tongue-in-cheek, respecting history.
06:53The history of this fixture is entirely one-sided.
06:56Back to that in a second, because here is Reid.
06:59And Jimenez!
07:00It's a reasonable hit.
07:02It's always fading a shade wide.
07:04I'm not too sure why Gabriel decided to let him come off there.
07:12Decent quality too, and Castagna got in front of the near post to affect the flick.
07:18Jimenez, into the wall.
07:20Cairney, against the wall, and behind for a corner.
07:25And there is a VAR delay here, as we wait to see what sort of a limit might have flown
07:30off.
07:30Not then, but then.
07:33I mean, Calafiore had it well tucked in.
07:35Surely nothing doing.
07:41And by Lukic.
07:45Forward again by Jimenez.
07:48Not as far as Cairney.
07:51Bassi competing, Castagna hitting it and rising away.
07:58Bassi.
08:00Smith-Rowe ripples the side-netting.
08:08And Leke with in-swing, Calafiore against the bar.
08:14This time for Madweke, look where it is.
08:16It's right in the danger area.
08:18The keeper's got no chance of getting there.
08:20Calafiore just heads it off the head of the keeper onto the crossbar.
08:24Because actually, he saved it with his bumps.
08:29He'll claim it.
08:33Dallman kept his feet well.
08:35Kept the ball with purpose.
08:38Max Dallman.
08:40Sweet feet.
08:41And the shot just the wrong side.
08:47And Arsenal can still be champions of England, they can still be champions of Europe.
08:53And they have brought the loudest and proudest out of their 60,000 supporters in here this evening.
09:06They think it's on again.
09:09If it ever wasn't on.
09:20It's a goal kick, which may well be the last kick.
09:30Everything, everything that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal wanted from their day.
09:36A bit of comfort, a bit of joy.
09:39And as you see, a six-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
09:45Jokhorej 1-0, Saka 2-0, Jokhorej 3-0.
09:50A second half they merely managed.
09:52For those backing Arsenal, a night of great uplift and of promise.
10:16Jokhorej 2-0, Jokhorej 3-0, Jokhorej 3-0.
