What happened: Fabrizio Romano posted that Arsenal are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League with two matches remaining, while Manchester City still have a game in hand. Social context in the pack tied the update to Arsenal's trip to West Ham, and reaction posts placed the table at Arsenal 79 points and City 74.
Why it matters: The result leaves the title race in Arsenal's hands and increases the pressure on City to make their extra match count. It is a sharp turn from the late-April deadlock between Arsenal and Manchester City, with little margin for error left for either side.
By the numbers: Standings cited in the signal pack: Arsenal 79 points, Manchester City 74, with City holding one game in hand; Arsenal have two matches left. Recent context from verified reports: City beat Brentford 3-0 on May 9 after drawing 3-3 at Everton earlier in the week.
What to watch: Watch City's game in hand and whether Arsenal can hold the gap across the final two rounds. Any Arsenal slip would quickly reopen the title race.
