Arsenal delivered a commanding 4-1 victory over Tottenham in the North London derby, sending a clear message in the Premier League title race. Gary Neville praised the Gunners for answering multiple challenges, including questions about their mentality following a disappointing draw at Wolves and the pressure from Manchester City's win over Newcastle.

The win moved Arsenal five points clear at the top of the table, but Neville emphasized that the real test lies ahead. Manchester City remain dangerous with their attacking firepower and experienced manager Pep Guardiola, who Neville believes is already playing mind games. The Sky Sports pundit noted that Arsenal must withstand this pressure for another six to eight weeks.

Neville believes Arsenal's title hopes hinge on a crucial Etihad Stadium clash on April 18. He argued that to be recognized as champions, Arsenal must win at Manchester City's home ground. With 10 games remaining and the race intensifying, Neville predicts a "blockbuster" finish to the season as both teams jostle for position in what promises to be a monumental battle for the Premier League crown.
