Arsenal won the northern London derby opposite to Tottenham thanks to a change of first part.
The cleaning of Dominic Solanke and a very good extreme of Leandro Trosssard gave them the progress after his son Heung-min opened the scoreboard.
The Tottenham captain opened the scoring with a deviant effort, however, it is a piece of segment that back the business for arsenal with the ball that left Solanke before entering. Four minutes later, Leandro Trosssard ended magnificently from diversity to put it 2- 1.
There were more chances of a half of the moment for Arsenal, but, fortunately, they were punished by a poorer finish. The win moves to Arsenal within 4 numbers of Liverpool’s management, while Tottenham remained at the back of 13.

Arsenal have done the Premier League double over Tottenham for a fifth time.
Two of those occasions have been achieved under Mikel Arteta, and three under Arsene Wenger.
In fact, they have now reached double 4 times more than their Spurs rivals in the competition, which only made the opening season of the Premier League in 1992-93.
Declan Rice, speaking to TNT Sports after the match, said: “We play so many games now that we don’t get much time to practice set pieces, I just know now the area I need to put the ball into and it is about repetition.
“Spurs are a transitional team. They play the short ball and continue to pass. We win the top ball and they’re open, then Leo (Trossard) on his left or right foot is fatal. “
Then came here the compliment from Arsenal’s left-back.
“Young Myles (Lewis-Skellly) amazing,” Rice said. “For 18 years, to play as it is, it is simply ridiculous. Young players are no longer afraid, nothing.
“Four or times in the moment in the middle, he used his frame to get away from someone. He has this mousa-type strength Dembele. il is said yet to prove that personality and character at 18 are incredible. “
Tottenham has lost games in the Premier League this season.
This is the greatest number of things at this level in a single crusade at the festival (also 11 in 1997-98, 2003-04 and 2008-09).
The parts that have lost more this term are the 3 groups lately in the descent zone (Lobos, Leicester, Southampton).
Oh.
The name of the existing Premier League is: Arsenal are now at the moment, 4 problems over leaders Liverpool after having played one more game.
Meanwhile, Tottenham is and out of the image in this photo, in 24 numbers of 21 games.
They’re closer to the relegation zone than to Europe!

We saw a brilliant first half, perhaps more from the chaos than from the genuine quality.
But this part of the moment was not inspired. Arsenal has done the job, and his enthusiasts will be erased, while Tottenham has put a glove slightly.
If Arsenal only had an attacking player in the field with an ounce of clinical advantage, he would probably have ugly enough for visitors.
Alas, in Bukayo Saka’s absence, Mikel Arteta remains without a player on whom he can rely in front of goal.
Arsenal has obtained 26 corner goals in the Premier League since it began last season; Most teams.
Four of those have been netted against Tottenham, which is also the most corner goals a team have scored against a specific opponent in this period.
With one of the final questions in his post-match chat to TNT Sports, Arteta was asked about whether he is the market for attacking reinforcements this month.
“We’re going to try for sure — we’re actively looking,” he said.
“We lost two very vital players (Saka and Jesus) and we only have 14 players in the team and we play every 3 days.
“We will try, let’s see what we can get. “
Mikel Arteta watched his side miss a host of chances again this evening but, crucially, they won the match and he was smiling as he spoke to TNT Sports.
“The children were exceptional today. There are less than 72 hours (we play) 120 minutes at a festival that we are eliminated and psychologically, it is not easy,” he said. “The way we play and play exceptional today.
“We made it harder for ourselves because we deserved to score at least one or two more and we had to suffer. The attitude was outstanding, the way they played, the purpose that they played with.
“It was fine. “
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min, speaking to TNT Sports post-match, was scathing about his side’s performance.
“Very disappointing. This game for the club and the fans. Consciousness goals like this are more painful,” he said.
“The manager is right, we were too passive. We need to press and play as much as possible.
“It’s up to the players as well, you have to listen to what we want to do. We were not disciplined enough. We have to do better in every aspect. When you look at the table, it’s not good enough.”

Dominic Solanke’s purpose was Tottenham’s sixth goal in their own net opposite Arsenal in the Premier League.
In fact, this is the third successive season that they have achieved their own opposite purpose to their rivals in North London (2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25).
Only Liverpool (seven times opposite to the Spurs) has never scored more to an opponent in the competition.
Declan Rice, smiling from one ear to the other, spoke to TNT Sports Time Complete.
“Tonight meant more than anything,” he said. The first forty-five minutes were just natural domination and we showed an intention, a desire, a pressure.
“You can say it as a derby and, to be honest, I think we are notches of not marking 10 tonight!
“It’s feeling. “
Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said: “Nowhere near good enough, especially in the first half. We were just way too passive and we allowed Arsenal dictate the game. We hung in there but that’s all we were doing. Second half was a little better but nowhere near good enough and it’s unacceptable.
“Ultimately the responsibility lies with me and how we prepare the players and how their mindset was going out there. It certainly wasn’t our intent. In the first half, it was nowhere near the standards that we want to set.”
Tell us how you feel.
Strange thing about that game — given Arsenal could have scored a lot — is that Spurs actually had enough openings to nick an equaliser.
But it looks like Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are running on empty right now.
They never had physical merit about Arsenal centers.
Martin Odegaard created 1four in his last two appearances for Arsenal (10 opposite Manchester United and four opposite Tottenham).
Overall, this is as much as all of his teammates combined in those two games.
A positive, I guess, in how creative he has been. Maybe also a negative in how reliant Arsenal are on him!
