After defeating Tottenham 2-0 in the north London derby, Arsenal increased their lead over Tottenham at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
Hugo Lloris’ appalling own goal and Martin Odegaard’s outstanding finish were enough to guarantee that the league leaders would return to the Emirates with all three points. In the second half, the home team had a few opportunities to lessen the lead, but Mikel Arteta’s team stifled them.
Beginning in the first minute, Arsenal was the stronger team from the start, and they quickly grabbed the lead. From minute one, Arsenal was the superior team, and they soon took the lead. Soon takes taking the lead half a dozen times.
When the goal went in, Tottenham crumbled, and another Arsenal goal seemed inevitable. After Odegaard’s powerful shot was saved by Lloris and Thomas Partey’s effort hit the woodwork, the visitors’ captain gave the opposition captain no chance.
To give his team a well-earned two-goal lead, he went into plenty of space 25 yards from the goal before unleashing a flawless low strike into the bottom corner.
There was no chance of Tottenham being saved once more by their second-half performance, thanks to Aaron Ramsdale. To keep his clean sheet and help Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League by another three points, he made two outstanding saves, the first from Ryan Sessegnon and the second from Harry Kane.
