LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal opened a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory at Leicester City while on a big day for the relegation battlers there were huge wins for West Ham United and Leeds United.

Gabriel Martinelli's goal just after halftime sealed the points for Arsenal to crank up the pressure on second-placed Manchester City, who were playing struggling Bournemouth later on Saturday.

"We deserved the result and we are so happy with the three points," Martinelli told Sky Sports."We needed to win any way we could and we managed to do it." It ws Firpo who finally broke the deadlock in front of a raucous Elland Road crowd in the 77th minute, squeezing a tame effort under goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

Ings only had to wait three minutes for his second goal from Said Benrahma's cross before Declan Rice made it 3-0 and substitute Michail Antonio completed the rout.
