A fiery overnight crash in Oregon at one of Portland’s most exclusive social clubs has left a person dead and triggered a major police investigation after authorities discovered possible explosives inside the vehicle.
Portland Fire and Rescue responded just before 2:50 a.m. local time Saturday to a report that a vehicle had crashed through the front entrance of the Multnomah Athletic Club and caught fire, according to the Portland Police Bureau (PPB).
After the fire was controlled, one person was found dead inside the car, officials said.

PPB’s Explosive Disposal Unit responded after evidence of an explosive device was found in the vehicle.
The explosives unit is assisting with the investigation and assessing the scene.
The Portland FBI Office also responded to the scene, according to local outlet KATU.
Multiple nearby streets remain closed, and police asked the community to avoid the area.

In a Facebook post, the club said it would remain closed until further notice, calling the incident “serious.”
“At this time, we do not have a timeline for reopening, but we’re expecting a prolonged close,” club leadership wrote in the post. “Our priority is ensuring the club is safe before welcoming our community back.

A southern California woman is facing an additional charge of involuntary manslaughter after an 81-year-old man died from his injuries after being struck by the woman’s teen son while he was riding an e-motorcycle, prosecutors said on Friday.
On 16 April, Tommi Jo Mejer’s 14-year-old son was riding a Surron e-motorcycle and doing wheelies when he hit Ed Ashman, according to prosecutors. Ashman, a former captain in the US Marine Corps, was walking home from his job as a substitute teacher at a high school in Lake Forest.
He was critically injured and died on Thursday, and Mejer, of Aliso Viejo in Orange county, was charged with involuntary manslaughter as a result on top of a previous count of felony child endangerment.
“This mother essentially handed her 14-year-old son a deadly weapon, and despite multiple warnings of the dangers, continued to let him illegally ride an e-motorcycle until he finally killed someone,” the Orange county district attorney, Todd Spitzer, said in a statement.
Mejer has not yet appeared in court, and there was no public defender listed in records for her. The district attorney’s office gave the Associated Press the name of a private attorney who may be representing Mejer; that person did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Mejer was also charged with felony accessory after the fact and misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and providing false information to an officer. She could be sentenced to up to seven years and eight months in prison if convicted on all counts, prosecutors said.
In June 2025, prosecutors said, Mejer called the sheriff’s department to complain that someone was posting pictures of her son riding the e-motorcycle. In an interaction with deputies that was recorded by body camera, she said she bought the vehicle and “knew that he drove it recklessly”.
She was warned by deputies that she could face criminal charges for letting him ride it illegally, prosecutors said.
A bike is classified as an e-motorcycle under state law if it has an electric motor with more than 750 watts of power or can reach speeds above 20mph (32km/h) without having to pedal. Riders are required to be at least 16 years old and have a motorcycle license.
The boy’s e-motorcycle is the 2025 Surron Ultra Bee capable of reaching a top speed of 56mph (90km/h), according to the manufacturer.
In the hours after the April collision, Mejer told deputies that neither she nor her son owned a Surron e-motorcycle or had access to one, prosecutors said.
The district attorney’s office said it could not discuss whether the boy will face prosecution because it is a juvenile case.
Orange county prosecutors have filed child endangerment charges against three parents this year for letting children ride e-motorcycles illegally. And in Contra Costa county, in northern California, parents were charged after their child crashed into a minivan.
In the past, prosecutions of parents were typically seen in truancy cases since the law specifically mentions their liability, said Lawrence Rosenthal, a law professor at Chapman University.
But parental criminal liability in other circumstances has gained attention in recent years, especially in prosecutions and convictions related to shootings committed by minors.
“This is a very new theory. There’s not a long, robust history,” Rosenthal said.
In the cases involving shootings, prosecutors have to prove that the parent committed some act of “criminal negligence” that led to a death, such as providing access to a gun, according to Rosenthal.
However, the legal theories that were used might be more difficult to prove in e-motorcycle cases, Rosenthal said. Prosecutors will have to show that parents knew the risk of an e-motorcycle when letting their child ride one, and firearms represent a “far easier-to-grasp threat to human life”.
“Is it reasonably foreseeable that a child’s going to kill somebody?” Rosenthal said.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed Saturday that a Department of Justice investigation uncovered a “systematic culture” of anti-Christian bias across federal agencies during the Biden administration.
Blanche joined “Saturday in America” to discuss the 565-page report that details how the Biden-era FBI monitored Catholic priests and the IRS denied tax-exempt status to a Christian organization based on its religious teachings.
“What we found in that very deep, substantial report is it was much more than just a rogue agent. It was much more than just a field office or a prosecutor,” Blanche told Kayleigh McEnany.
“It was actually a systematic culture issue at the Department of Justice to target Christians, to target people based upon their religious beliefs.”

The findings, published Thursday by a Justice Department task force, argue the Biden administration exhibited a pattern of behavior that undermined religious liberty. According to a DOJ press release, the administration used regulatory means to strip protections from people of faith.
“President Biden pushed policies to eliminate statutory protections for religious Americans that interfered with his policy goals,” the DOJ report stated. “Although he failed to change federal law, under his direction, federal agencies used policy and regulatory means to accomplish the same goals.”
The report says the Biden administration labeled parental concerns at school boards as “threats” and dismissed federal workers’ religious concerns about vaccine mandates as “insincere” or “not religious.”
Another claim in the report states, “The Civil Rights Division under President Biden sidelined Christians in favor of preferred constituencies. It published materials suggesting that Christians could not be victims of religious discrimination, only other faith groups.”
Blanche called the findings “extraordinarily disappointing,” but emphasized that the current administration is moving to dismantle bias in the DOJ.
“President Trump said on day one that this was [going to] change, and I’m happy to report that it has changed,” Blanche said.
Former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s emphasis on reproductive healthcare was another top focus of the report.
Republican lawmakers frequently confronted Garland over concerns about whether the DOJ’s actions disadvantaged Christians. During a House hearing in 2023, Garland, who is Jewish and frequently references his family fleeing religious persecution in Europe in the 20th century, became emotional about the accusation.
“The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, so absurd,” Garland told lawmakers.

The investigation was a direct result of President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias,” which was designed to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ.”
“It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government,” the executive order stated. “The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government.”

US airlines and government officials battled on Saturday to deal with stranded passengers and stricken employees after discount carrier Spirit Airlines abruptly ceased operations – and a political and business blame game got under way over the collapse of the low-cost carrier.
“If you have a flight scheduled with Spirit Airlines, don’t show up at the airport; there will be no one here to assist you,” the US secretary of transportation, Sean Duffy, warned at a press conference after laying out measures for customers booked with the Florida-based company to obtain refunds or find discounted flights on other airlines.
Spirit’s airport check-in desks sat empty across the country on Saturday after the company went out of business in the early hours, posting on its website that after 34 years of flying it had “started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately”.
At the Orlando international airport overnight, a digital departure display sign was filled with bright red notifications of canceled Spirit flights.
There were no more Spirit planes in the air, with their distinctive bright yellow paint, after the last flight landed in Dallas, Texas, after midnight and Spirit’s management announced it was the end, after talks for a government rescue failed.
The Spirit president and CEO, Dave Davis, told the Wall Street Journal that it had not been his intention for the airline to leave travelers with bookings out on a limb.
“We didn’t intentionally sell any tickets thinking we weren’t going to be here,” he said. “We thought we were going to get the liquidity we needed.”
But plans were upended. Traveler Angela Moreno told NBC News that she was booked to fly from Fort Lauderdale in Florida to Nashville, Tennessee, for a wedding.
“The whole family is going there from different states, so it’s very shocking,” she told the TV news outlet. “There’s many people who cannot attend the wedding as of now.” With tickets on competing airlines priced at $600, she said it was unlikely she’d make it, adding: “I hope the best for those people who really needed that flight.”
On social media platforms, where travelers often go to vent about delayed or canceled flights, many sent nostalgic posts.
“Goodbye SpiritAirlines. Those of us in the ‘D’ (Detroit), or previously known as your Second Hub of #DTW, will miss ya,” said @IUTruthtellers2 on X. Others posted nostalgic stories and added“RIP”.
“They truly were one of the last cheap ‘get me there as fast and cheap as possible’ options,” Reddit user AioliUpset7805 wrote on a thread, adding: “I’ll miss them.”
A political blame game erupted. Duffy said that the war in Iran, which has almost doubled the price of jet fuel, wasn’t to blame for Spirit’s collapse and that the company was “in dire straits long before the war with Iran”.
“Multiple times they had filed for bankruptcy. Their model wasn’t working,” he added. “They couldn’t get the fiscal health.”
Republican fingers pointed at the Biden administration, which opposed a $3.8bn sale of Spirit to JetBlue, citing a risk of higher airfares, with a federal court in 2024 blocking the takeover.

“Biden took the unprecedented step of using the Dept of Transportation AND the DOJ to block a merger of JetBlue and faltering Spirit,” the Republican Kentucky representative Thomas Massie posted on X. “That block and high fuel prices have led to Spirit’s demise.”
The Democratic US senator Elizabeth Warren countered, saying: “Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline … Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.”
Her post on X also said: “FWIW [for what it’s worth], JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal.”
Meanwhile, Duffy scorned Democrats whom he cited for hailing the interventions in the deal as a “victory for US travelers”.
“Thank a Democrat,” Duffy posted on X. “Joe Biden and [then transportation secretary] Pete Buttigieg bragged about blocking the JetBlue–Spirit merger … The very deal that could have saved Spirit Airlines. The result: Less competition, customers scrambling, employees losing jobs. You can’t make this stuff up.”
Talks to bail out the company stalled last week when creditors including Ken Griffin’s Citadel LLC, Ares Management Corp and Cyrus Capital opposed a government plan to take 90% of the company in exchange for a $500m bailout, reported CBS News.
The lenders made a counterproposal but no agreement resulted. The creditors said in a letter seen by the New York Times that they did not see how the airline could survive and urged its board to wind it down.
Duffy added on Saturday that there was potential for a deal with the government, but “it had to be a good deal,” and the talks’ failure was down to “a creditor issue”.
“Again, they have the final say of whether they want to do a deal with the government,” Duffy said. “But also from the government’s perspective, we oftentimes don’t have a half a billion dollars laying around in a spare account that we can put into a bailout of an airline. So there was creative thinking on how it could happen. Those two things never materialized.”
Spirit operated throughout the US, Latin America and the Caribbean, after being founded in 1983 in Detroit as Charter One Airlines.
The historic Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport was Spirit’s hub in New York and on Saturday the small art deco building was a ghost town. A notice on the door declared the airline was no more and passengers who had shown up that morning hoping to catch a last flight had been turned away.
“I can only imagine how many millions of families [there are] out there where vacations are now out of reach,” Reddit user BigBubby305 said, adding that the price difference between Spirit and carriers such as Delta and American Airlines was, at times, more than $1,000 for a set of tickets for their family.
A Reddit user who said they were a Spirit pilot out of Las Vegas, posted: “I always took great pride in knowing we were saving people money and allowing those to travel who couldn’t afford to otherwise … To shut down forever tonight has been one of the saddest experiences of my life.”
Spirit had around 4,000 domestic flights scheduled through 15 May, according to the aviation data analytics firm Cirium.
Shilo Sanders isn’t doing his brother, Shedeur, any favors with his recent insults aimed at Cleveland Browns female reporter, Mary Kay Cabot.
In case you missed it, Shilo made what many are calling a misogynistic comment on an Instagram video of Cabot urging the Browns to make Deshaun Watson QB1 over Shedeur. Cabot, who has been covering the Browns since 1988, said, “I think they should declare [Watson] QB1 asap and let the first-team offense start to cook.” She added, “There’s no time to waste.”
In response, Shilo said, “Go make a sandwich Mary.”

Rightfully so, the comment made a lot of buzz, which I think is not only detrimental to Shedeur, but showcases how many of his supporters have acted when it comes to criticism. There’s no better example than Shilo discussing the controversy he started, doubling down on his comments while streaming on Twitch.
“This is to Mary Kay,” Shilo started his rant. “If you’re gonna be a reporter, then report facts. Whenever you have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful to Sheduer, then it seems like there’s something weird. Like there’s an agenda you have going on.”

Shilo said the quiet part out loud, in my opinion. He’s claiming, like many other fans, and even those in the media, that any criticism of Shedeur is “hateful” and has some sort of sinister “agenda” behind it. When he says “agenda”, it’s hard for me not to assume he isn’t talking about racism, because that has been the claim since Shedeur fell in the 2025 NFL Draft.
ESPN’s Ryan Clark stated before the draft, “It is about the fact that the color of his skin sometimes at the position can be questioned.”
Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson said the NFL wanted to “make an example out of [Shedeur]” claiming he was told by a source that “The NFL… told other [teams] don’t draft him.”
Skip Bayless claimed “it smells of racist undertones” and that there are “too many white people in charge in this league”, when it came to Shedeur falling to the fifth round of the Draft.
Heck, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who just loves to say outlandish, unsubstantiated things and put his foot in his mouth, claimed Shedeur was being blackballed similar to Colin Kaepernick stating on X, “This kid is a first rounder. In a different way, this is Kaepernick all over again…..being kept out. A damn disgrace. I don’t care what anyone says!”
Former NFL MVP and frequent guest host on ESPN’s First Take, Cam Newton made an outrageous claim that the Browns head coach (at the time) was sabotaging Shedeur. “I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: I do not think Kevin Stefanski wants Shedeur Sanders to succeed in Cleveland,” Newton pronounced.

This list goes on and on, but you should get the point.. Shedeur’s brother, many in the media and countless fans online want the sports world to believe that the NFL, some in media, and coaches are conspiring against Shedeur, hence the “agenda”. They also claim that criticism is, more often than not, “hateful.” That’s weak, unfounded, and illogical.
The fans are even worse online. That’s why I like to compare Shedeur Sanders’ fans to Angel Reese fans. They claim, or at very least insinuate, that any and all criticism of each player has some sort of racist, micro-aggressive undertone to it. They want the sports world to believe they are perpetual victims of a foundational prejudice within an unfair system, in my opinion. I call nonsense.
What Shilo Sanders is doing is refusing to face the facts, while hypocritically telling Cabot to stick to the facts in her reporting.
Here are the cold, hard facts. Out of 42 eligible NFL quarterbacks in the 2025 season, Shedeur Sanders ranked 41st in passer rating. Sanders threw more interceptions than touchdowns. He had the fifth-worst QBR since QBR became a stat in 2026, making it the worst QBR of any Browns QB with at least six starts IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE. Sheduer showed flashes, but he performed poorly overall. The fact that he was named to the Pro Bowl put the nail in the coffin of that game and his addition made a mockery of that accolade.
This season, Shedeur is not a shoo-in for QB1, and his poor performance in his rookie season is to blame. Additionally, comments and controversies like this involving his family, only make Shedeur a bigger distraction than he has been in the past.
Shilo went on to state, “There’s plenty of women in this field that take this serious and take reporting football serious and actually do homework and study the game, get the statistics right, and get the news right. But with you, there’s so much emotion.” Then Shilo wrapped up his ironically emotional rant by stating, “We don’t care what you think is gonna happen… For all the women that actually take the time to do their research and actually be real reporters, and real journalists, then that’s gonna make them look bad.”
Shilo will only accept praise of his brother from media. Any criticism puts the credibility of the journalist in question. That’s ridiculous, especially based on the facts of Shedeur’s play.
Cabot didn’t take the bait and instead, took the high road in response to Shilo’s sandwich comment saying she believes she’s “an inspiration for lots of women and young girls that you can go out there and do a good job in man’s world.”
Cabot commented further on Cleveland sports radio 92.3 The Fan saying, “And I know that there are so many women who have joined the football world, especially because of some of the things that I’ve been able to do over the years… I’m just happy that I have been able to help set the tone and open some doors in that way, and I know that will continue, and that’s just how I feel about that.”
Shilo should do his brother a favor and use some discernment before he makes any more comments that inevitably will make Shedeur even more of a distraction and a talking point for the media than he already is. But, I wouldn’t count on it.

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. became a talking point on the internet because fans thought he was wearing an AirPod in the field.
Chisholm, 28, clarified that it was actually a piece of cotton in his ear canal because of an earache. In the Yankees’ win over the Texas Rangers on Monday, Chisholm took a grounder to the head. When he tried to field a ground ball, it kicked off his glove and clocked him in the head.
“It gave me an earache for like three or four days,” Chisholm told The Athletic.

Chisholm said he could barely hear out of his right ear and wore actual AirPods in the clubhouse to block out the noise. He used the noise-cancellation mode, trying to keep things as quiet as possible.
“Right now,” he said, “I’m feeling better. … My right ear was ringing for like three days.”
Chisholm has not missed any time and said he didn’t think it affected him. As the conversation continued to rage on about the cotton in his ear, he took to his Instagram Story to show it wasn’t an AirPod.

“All y’all just ain’t the smartest,” Chisholm captioned his picture with a shrug and laughing emoji.
He said the conversation around the cotton in his ear was “not smart.”
“I think that’s not smart at all,” Chisholm said. “I think no umpire would let it go through. No coach would let that happen. You know what I mean? I just feel like … and you would have seen a phone in my back pocket or something. I mean, AirPods don’t reach that far. So for me, it’s just like, I just didn’t think it was a smart thing. I feel like everything I do is on the media. I don’t mind it.

“If you guys love me that much, s—. I don’t mind it. I have no problem with it.”
Chisholm is off to a slow start this season but has started to pick it up lately. He has a .205 batting average with three home runs, 10 RBI and nine stolen bases.
Podcaster Joe Rogan defended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel against backlash after a controversial joke targeting first lady Melania Trump.
Kimmel joked that Melania had the glow of an “expectant widow” during a mock White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner skit delivered days before the Saturday shooting, a joke Rogan said “nobody gave a s–t” about until the incident happened.
“It came out on Thursday. No one cared Friday. No one cared on Saturday until Saturday night when the assassination attempt, and then all the sudden, everyone’s blaming Kimmel,” Rogan said Friday on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
When dissecting the meaning behind Kimmel’s joke, Rogan suggested it could be interpreted in multiple ways, such as President Donald Trump’s old age or dark political humor.

“Could be [an old guy joke] or an assassination joke if you want to take it that way. But he is old,” Rogan said.
The suspected shooter at the WHCA Dinner, Cole Allen, a computer scientist from Torrance, California, allegedly wrote in a manifesto note that his targets were Trump administration officials except for FBI Director Kash Patel.
Rogan’s remarks come after Kimmel faced a wave of backlash, including from those directly targeted by the joke.
Melania Trump condemned the remark as inappropriate and harmful in a statement on X Monday morning.
“His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” she said.
President Trump also fired back, calling for Kimmel’s firing on Truth Social and defending his wife against the “despicable” act.

“I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale,” Trump wrote. “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”
Kimmel has not apologized for the joke and pushed back on the criticism, responding during Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?”

Sometime last summer, I implored you to watch out for, nay, I warned you about the hype train that was approaching regarding a certain Manning offspring.
And the crazy thing is, I wasn’t referring to Texas Longhorns quarterback, Arch Manning, either.
The Manning I was writing about was none other than Marshall, whose dad you may or may not have heard of.
A guy by the name of Peyton. Does he ring any bells?

That’s right, folks! Peyton Manning, the five-time NFL MVP and two-time Super Bowl winner, had a son, and that son is now 15-years-old and throwing a football about as well as a teenager can.
I mean, are you surprised? His dad is Peyton Freaking Manning.
And, predictably, the hype surrounding Marshall is starting to reach a fever pitch before the kid has even gotten his driver’s license.
You can’t go five posts on X these last few days without seeing fans lauding the young signal caller for his arm talent.
No. Stop. I can’t do this again.
Not THIS soon after the Arch Manning hype train got done rolling into town.
It feels like just yesterday my Twitter timeline was bombarded by videos of Arch throwing against future engineering majors at Isidore Newman High School.

The fact that I have to endure this for the next three and a half years on social media almost makes me want to quit my job, move to Montana and go off the grid for a half decade.
In fairness, the kid does look really good spinning it out there.
He literally looks like the spitting image of his father, throw mechanics and all.
I can’t get my hopes up as a Gator fan though, because the psychological torment Florida put his dad through while at Tennessee probably means he will never end up in Gainesville.
Peyton was probably telling Marshall he won’t be a Florida Gator while he was still in the womb, for Christ’s sake.
That also means his recruiting journey will be one that we have to endure for the next few years as well.

“The Marshall Manning Sweepstakes” will dominate the news feed as his cousin Arch did before him.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, thank GOD Eli went and had four daughters, because I am praying this is the last time a young Manning has to go through the recruiting process.
Viktor Gyokeres scores twice in Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Fulham to boast hopes of ending 22-year title wait.
Published On 2 May 20262 May 2026
Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka starred in Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Fulham on Saturday as the Premier League leaders moved a step closer to their first title in 22 years.
Mikel Arteta’s side demolished woeful Fulham with a three-goal first-half blitz at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners’ second successive league victory lifted them six points clear of second-placed Manchester City.

City can draw level on points with Arsenal if they win their games in hand, but goal difference will be the deciding factor if both teams keep taking maximum points.
Arsenal, with three matches left, have a +41 goal difference, while City are on +37 with five to play.
So often criticised for winning ugly this season, the Gunners finally produced the kind of flowing football that is the hallmark of potential champions.
Crucially, Saka was back in the starting line-up for the first time since March 22 after returning from an Achilles injury.
The England winger, who made two substitute appearances over the last week, is back just in the nick of time and his sublime display showed what Arsenal missed after losing three times in his five-game absence.
Arsenal have been far from convincing in recent weeks, blowing a substantial lead at the top after damaging defeats against City and Bournemouth.
A tense 1-0 win against Newcastle last weekend hardly suggested they had conquered their anxiety, prompting Arteta to urge his players to manage their emotions in the nerve-shredding title race.
For a few days at least they can relax, with the spotlight now on City’s trip to Everton.
– Relentless Arsenal –
Arsenal will turn their attention to their bid to win the Champions League for the first time, with the semi-final against Atletico Madrid level at 1-1 ahead of Tuesday’s second leg in north London.
The Gunners have never lost a home league game against Fulham in 33 meetings, and it was apparent by the interval that the run would remain unblemished.
Arteta opted to start left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield for the first time in place of Martin Zubimendi.
The gamble paid off handsomely as Arsenal dominated from the start and took the lead in the ninth minute.
Swerving past Raul Jimenez with such speed and grace that the Fulham striker ended in a heap on the turf, Saka whipped a superb low cross into the six-yard box, and Gyokeres applied the finishing touch with a tap-in.
Arsenal hounded Fulham into submission with their relentless pressing, and even keeper David Raya joined in, sprinting out of his area to tackle Jimenez on the half-way line.
Arsenal had a vice-like grip, and Saka struck in the 40th minute.
Gyokeres was the provider, astutely holding the ball up until Saka’s run took him into the Fulham area.
Picked out by Gyokeres’ pass, Saka cleverly shifted his body to fool Bernd Leno with a clinical low finish that whistled past him from 12 yards.
Arsenal had no intention of settling for that, and Gyokeres struck again in first half stoppage-time.
He rose high above the Fulham defence to cap a blistering break with a towering header from Leandro Trossard’s cross for his 21st goal in all competitions this season.
The Gunners lost some of their rhythm after Arteta replaced Saka at the break to preserve him for the Atletico clash.
Gyokeres shot straight at Leno from 10 yards, and Calafiori’s deflected header hit the bar but Arsenal’s title charge is gathering pace.
