Arsenal defender William Saliba says the players feel no pressure leading the Premier League table.

Arsenal produced a commanding display to beat Spurs 2-0 in the north London derby and are now undeniably favourites to win their first title since 2004.

“There's no pressure because we play for that," said the defender. “It's better to have this pressure when you are at the top than when you are down at the bottom. It's better to keep going like this and we don't have to have pressure.

“We are focused on ourselves. We are not focused on our rivals. We have to keep going like this and stay focused only on our ourselves.

“It's never enough. We know we have a lot of games to go. We have to be focused because things can change quickly."

Victory banished painful memories of last season, when the Gunners were beaten 3-0 by Spurs and then missed out on Champions League qualification.

“We knew it was a long time since we won here, so we wanted to win here and keep a clean sheet," said Saliba.

“We are so happy because the derby is a big game, and it was an away game, too. We prepared all week for this, and we are so happy to finish like that."
