Arsenal Team Pose With Giant Clock After Beating Fulham

• Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 on Sunday to reclaim their five-point lead over Manchester City
• A dominant first-half display was all it took for the Gunners to blow away their city neighbours
• The team photo after the win is believed to have sent a message to title rivals in the English league

Arsenal wasted no time reclaiming their five-point advantage over title rivals, Manchester City. The Gunners blew Fulham away with three first-half goals to cruise to victory in the London derby.

City narrowly beat Crystal Palace on Saturday to reduce the advantage to two thanks to Erling Haaland's penalty, but the league leaders proved why they are there in the first place.

The ruthlessness shown by the Gunners in winning games and making comebacks has made them stand tall this season and earned them high praise from rival manager, Pep Guardiola.

Arsenal team photo a mystery

As reported by Sports Brief, January signing, Leandro Trossard's historic and inspiring performance helped Mikel Arteta's team make light work of their London neighbours.

The Belgian bagged three first-half assists, a Premier League record. He also became the first player since former Arsenal midfielder, Santi Cazorla to record a hat-trick of goals and assists in a season, having scored three goals against Liverpool in October, as noted by Sun UK.

The Arsenal team and backroom staff took a photo in the dressing room after the win, where two staff and Trossard held a giant clock with the time shown being five minutes to two o'clock, as shared on Instagram by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Fans believe the photo is a cryptic message. They have theorised the time on the clock signifies '11 games 2 go' until the season ends and they are champions, while another theory states it must be interpreted as '11 games 2 months to go'.

Guardiola praises resolute Arsenal

Sports Brief also reported on Guardiola highlighting where Arsenal is better than his Manchester City team as the title race heats up.

City have won four of the last five Premier League titles, while the Gunners have not won it since 2004 under ex-boss Arsene Wenger.

Pep claimed the desire to end the long run sets Mikel Arteta's team apart from his team, who he feels have become complacent.
