Arsenal fans were just as quick to celebrate as their team were to take a dominant lead with champagne on the ready for St Totteringham's Day.
St Totteringham's Day is the fictional holiday celebrated by Arsenal fans when they secure a league finish above rivals Tottenham.
And a victory for Mikel Arteta's side means they now go 20 POINTS clear of Tottenham with Ange Postecoglou and Co only having 15 points left to play for in their remaining five games.
