Arsenal

Arsenal made it look easy in the North London derby, running out 3-1 winners against archrivals Tottenham Hotspur.

"We have a really meaningful opportunity to give a lot of people happiness on a beautiful day and we have delivered that and it is a really great feeling. I tried to give minutes to players because the game had ended and also to try and save energy. [Bukayo Saka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/280555/Bukayo-Saka)'s tame 49th-minute shot straight out in front of him and then allowing the loose ball to squirm under him as [Clement Lenglet](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/193917/Clément-Lenglet) struggled to clear, allowing Jesus a tap-in. Tottenham: Conte will take his Spurs squad to Germany on Tuesday to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. "The players grabbed the game and deserved to win it," Arteta said. "We made a big mistake with the last pass because we had great space. [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) and [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382) for the title. "It was the whole team -- starting from the back to front. That progress has to continue, otherwise speculation will quickly resurface over whether an ambitious striker already proven as one of the Premier League's finest can really achieve his ultimate aims at Tottenham -- and links with [Bayern Munich](/soccer/team?id=132) persist. It will come as little comfort to Kane given the result but he became the first player ever to score 100 away goals in the Premier League with a 31st-minute penalty that drew Spurs level in the first half. Tottenham have won multiple matches without playing well this season, staying in games before their attacking talent comes to the fore, and it appeared for a while that would be the case here as Arsenal dominated the opening half hour before a rare breakaway saw Gabriel bring down Richarlison in the box. For the most part, they also avoided the same mistakes as when losing at [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) in a similar sort of game.

David Seaman has urged Granit Xhaka to 'keep his head' and avoid getting sent off in Saturday's north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.

Xhaka will surely be in Mikel Arteta's starting XI for the meeting with Tottenham, with the 30-year-old having become a pivotal part of the Gunners midfield. A win for Arsenal would see them pull clear at the top of the Premier League table, and extend their advantage over Spurs to four points. Mikel Arteta will undoubtedly be relying on one of his most experienced players to keep his cool and stay focused in Saturday's north London derby.

Mikel Arteta has said he believes Arsenal's 3-1 win over Tottenham has sent a message to his players they can beat the Premier League's elite.

"Looking at the table and seeing the club in this position is great," continued the Spaniard. It's nothing that we have done yet and there's still a lot of things to improve. That should give them confidence and belief."

Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are “slowly erasing those scars” that have haunted the club over the years, according to BT Sport's Rio Ferdinand.

“I’m sure he will have a good career going forward. He was the most composed centre-back on the pitch today. I think Mikel is slowly, slowly creating a super team." Premier League The club – who are without a Premier League title since 2004 and have not featured in the Champions League since 2016 – have been accused of having a ‘soft centre’ in recent years. The Gunners have made a blistering start to the Premier League season,

Saka cut inside the Tottenham area for a low strike that Lloris parried weakly in front of him. Lloris had saved Tottenham on that occasion but the France keeper was guilty of a costly mistake four minutes after half-time. Jesus almost restored Arsenal's lead with a sublime run through the heart of the Tottenham defence before Lloris made a good stop from his close-range effort.

[Emerson Royal had been sent off for a nasty challenge on Gabriel Martinelli,](https://www.goal.com/en/news/emerson-royal-shown-straight-red-card-challenge-martinelli-left-arsenal-furious/bltcf5203aefee66d6a) Granit Xhaka struck to make sure of the points, and maintain Arsenal's position at the top of the table. To their credit, Arsenal brushed off the disappointment of conceding the penalty by restoring their lead just four minutes into the second half, with Gabriel Jesus tapping home after a horrible error by Hugo Lloris. This was game was billed as being too tight to call by many but, in the end, Arsenal proved far too good for their neighbours as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Tottenham at a cauldron-like Emirates Stadium.

A 3–1 win over Tottenham in Saturday's North London Derby perhaps provided something approaching an answer—as well as ensuring Arsenal will end the weekend top ...

The second half began well for Arteta’s side, in part because of a Tottenham error, but the mistake came because of the pressure Arsenal exerted. Royal is a player who has divided opinion for some time but his supporters are dwindling by the day. And Tottenham is a side adept at making the most of the occasional counter. Past Arsenals might have wilted upon Kane’s equalizer, but this side has shown hints this season that it is developing a backbone. As it was, the opening goal didn’t come until the 20th minute, with Thomas Partey capitalizing on being gifted far too much space outside the box to sweep in his first of the season after a patient passing move. But Arsenal, for all the fight it has shown in certain games this season, is not a side yet that can quite be trusted—as was apparent at United.

Martin Odegaard revealed that Thomas Partey's wonderful strike that opened the scoring in the 3-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur was something straight off ...

All the games this year they’ve been amazing and it’s nice to give them this win back. “From that moment I think we controlled the game again and it was a solid win in the end. “We know how much they help us, we know how much they believe in us now and we want to give them something back.

A gleeful Mikel Arteta attended his post-match press conference having seen his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 to remain top of the Premier League.

Because when you play such a big game, you want to win, and those opinions are correct because when you look at the stats and if you just put it in that context, you can do it. But we have to - first of all - have what we have, and with that group of players and that connection I think it is much easier, that something nice can happen. Because emotion is related, and the table says what it says, but it is not something that we look at. Absolutely [this result can be a springboard], I think it started in that dressing room when you get the right people and the right players and they start to connect with each other. I think this is the biggest success that this group of players are having. It’s quicker, you are closer to the goal and it’s easier to do.

Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on our supporters following the 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

We know that it’s a day in the calendar that is a chance to deliver something to our people and that brings a little bit more responsibility, but I think the players handled it really well.” “Then we conceded the goal and I loved the reaction of the team. We had good connection, good quality and good intensity in our play, and I could sense that we were up for it.

It was a derby day to remember as we claimed a 3-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium, and you can watch the best of the action now.

Ghana fans taunted Nigerians for missing the World Cup after Thomas Partey's North London Derby goal for Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur.

While some fans focused on taunting Nigerians, others debated the North London Derby and pointed out how Partey is a key Arsenal player. On the other hand, Spurs have now failed to win any of their last 12 Premier League visits to Arsenal (D4 L8), which is currently their longest ongoing run in the competition. The Black Stars midfielder scored on the same day Nigeria were celebrating their Independence Day and some fans took the goal as a reminder of how the Super Eagles missed out on World Cup qualification.

The first and more passive method would be to limit the supply to Haaland. The more direct method would involve a change in formation and is probably more likely if Rashford is not passed fit for the game. Also if this is effective City could just choose to ignore Haaland, use him as a decoy to attract defenders then exploit the space with their other attackers. And it may be that the world’s best manager has a decision or two to make to freshen up the side. By packing this area or putting a combative player directly on him the hope is to deny him the time and space to shoot effectively. If the team in the lead gets to play with a man advantage, they can just control the game so much more easily, and if it’s the other way around or even at the time, it’s just parking the bus after that. When we were bobbing up and down the divisions, I used to think that following ‘Typical City’ was the epitome of suffering for your support (I know, I know, others have suffered far worse). I saw nothing in the derby to dissuade me of this notion. On to the next. We started to give as good as we got, and the move that lead to Kane’s cheekily middled penalty highlighted both Son and Richarlison’s skill and tenacity – that’s a handful for any defence. It’s just so random, and the punishment feels more to do with the consequences than the crime. Emerson Royal’s challenge was needless and stupid, and the way he caught Martinelli’s ankle warranted a red card.

It's nothing that we have done yet and there's still a lot of things to improve. "Looking at the table and seeing the club in this position is great," Arteta said.

The Gunners face Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium next weekend and it may be the perfect time for Arsenal to come up against Klopp's side.

We could have won but would we have deserved to win? We have to accept it. But we will give it a proper try." We have to go together and build. "I know we have 10 points and that’s the reality. It's a strange position for Arsenal to be in, as they have an abysmal recent record against the Reds.

The former Gunners defender made a statement before the North London Derby which was quickly proven wrong during the game.

Before the game, Martin Keown said that Arsenal were 'behind Tottenham' and that Conte's side had a huge chance of winning silverware this term. Spurs may yet go on to win silverware this season and finish above Arsenal, but based purely on Saturday's evidence, Keown's verdict on his old club being 'behind' Tottenham looks incorrect. North London Derbies are always huge occasions, but this was billed as a particularly big clash because both sides had started the season in such impressive fashion.

Bobby Decordova-Reid grabbed a late consolation. Odsonne Edouard scored the opener for Palace in the seventh minute, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalising seven minutes before half-time on his first league start for the Blues. Partey got the ball rolling with his first Arsenal goal from outside the box in his 65th match for the Gunners before Kane levelled from the spot to take his tally in this fixture to 14 in 18 appearances.

Arsenal have ensured that they'll spend yet another weekend atop the Premier League after an emphatic 3-1 win over Tottenham in the North London derby.

Brazil will be tracking what the duo does but it could be a decision that comes down to the final days before the World Cup. It's always up to the player to avoid giving a referee a decision to make in these scenarios, and Arsenal showed Spurs why it's so critical not to make dumb mistakes. Kulusevski picked up a knock while on international duty for Sweden but for Spurs' sake, hopefully, he'll be back in the rotation sooner than later. After defeating Leicester City 6-2 before the international break, the hope was that Tottenham would bring momentum through the time off and into this headline match, but it wasn't to be as their struggles at the Emirates will continue. It was a rash tactical foul, with Emerson going in quite high, the kind of prototypical "orange card" offense that sometimes ends in a red but often leads to a yellow card. Mistakes are punished in derby matches, and Saturday it was Spurs who let the occasion get to them.

Of course, Neves had the class and natural ability not to look out of place in the heart of the Wolves defence but an early booking - his fifth of the season - for a late challenge on Jarrod Bowen didn't help his cause - he now misses the next game against Chelsea. But there was very little to set pulses racing and for Thomas Frank, the best performer on show during his 200th match in charge of Brentford was arguably the match official. This means the Wolves midfield will be without his ability to dictate a game yet again. Five goals in the win over Leeds has been followed up by failure to score against Arsenal and now Bournemouth. But he sticks to his decision and that says a lot about him. This was the Premier League, but not as we've got to know it. But since he made his Premier League debut, Lloris makes a mistake every eight matches against Big Six sides - compared to one in every 25 against the other teams. There is very little more he could have done, following on from that 9-0 loss to Liverpool which brought an end to Scott Parker's reign and appeared to confirm a gulf in class at this level. Suddenly, all of Tottenham's good work in the first half to withstand heavy pressure and peg Arsenal back was gone. This was not a good advert for the Premier League, coming after an interminable international break. Their attacks flowed with all the precision and assurance of a team inside the top four. The Frenchman was once again imperious in the heart of Arsenal's defence.

Nice manager Lucien Favre dropped Arsenal loanee Nicolas Pepe as Mikel Arteta decision to move the Ivory Coast international on receives vindication.

Since this, the performances have not particularly improved which has seemingly led to the drop against PSG. "If one or two players don’t do the work, the whole team is in trouble. Instead, Barkley was chosen in place of the Arsenal loanee. He has so far scored just once in eight matches, his sole goal coming from the penalty spot too. However, since making the switch to France, things have not gone smoothly. Mikel Arteta preferred the young Bukayo Saka over the Ivorian and rarely gave Pepe too many chances to prove him wrong.
