The Gunners restored their lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table to five points as they won 3-0 courtesy of goals from Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.
An image was posted on social media of jubilant Arsenal players and staff celebrating along with the clock, a replica of the one that is in place in the Clock End at Emirates Stadium.
The hands on the clock were signalled at 11 and 2, which some fans suggested represents the fact that Arsenal have eleven games to play in their quest to win the title.
Commenting on the image, one fan wrote: ’11 games & 2 months to go i guess’.

Another wrote: ‘It’s a matter of time’.
‘2 trophies left to play for 11 games to go in the pl,’ another supporter added.
Arsenal are aiming to win their first league title since 2004 and have won their last five league fixtures in succession.
The clock is a hugely important symbol in Arsenal’s history and graced the club’s former ground Highbury for more than 70 years.
In 2010 a larger replica of the clock was installed at Emirates Stadium, with the original high up outside the stadium.
The win over Fulham was another step forwards for Arsenal as they look to win the league, although they will be fully aware that there is still much more work to do.
Throughout the season Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has frequently stated that his side are focused on taking things one game at a time rather than thinking about the bigger picture.

Arsenal’s attacking trio ranks among the best in Europe according to staggering stat
Arsenal ended the previous season with just two players in double digits for Premier League goals. Yet, with 11 games of the current campaign still to go, the Gunners boast as many as three individuals with ten or more top-flight goals.
Gabriel Martinelli (12 league goals), Bukayo Saka (ten) and Martin Odegaard (ten) have offered Arsenal three reliable routes to goal during their title charge this year.
To put into context how impressive that feat is at such an early stage of the season, only one other club in Europe’s top ten leagues can boast as many prolific goal-getters (per Opta).
