Gabriel Jesus losing his call at full time. Are these the signs of champions?

Are Arsenal frightened? It is still in their hands, but it's also now in Manchester City's hands, And if you don't win the title, dropping points when your two-nall-up at Wool's is criminal. Amidst it all, what a moment for Wolbs debut to Tom Edozy, Fandabedosie, if you will, scoring 10 minutes into his debut. Also, tonight, Newcastle make light work of Carabag. Quite a good half for Anthony Gordon. Bos stunned Inter as they force us once again to ask, is this the greatest night in Norwegian club football history?
