Mikel Arteta said Arsenals 4-0 demolition of Leeds proved the Premier League leaders can cope with the pressure of the title race.
The Gunners led at the break through Martin Zubimendis header and an own goal from Leeds keeper Karl Darlow.
Second half strikes from Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus wrapped up a much-needed victory for Arsenal, who had been labelled chokers after allowing their title lead to dwindle in recent weeks.
