Arsenal put on a dominant first half performance.

Hugo Lloris’ error allowed Bukayo Saka’s cross-shot to somehow deviate into the goal, giving the Gunners the lead on minute 14. The Gunners were incredibly dominant throughout the first period.


Before Martin Odegaard’s 25-yard strike flew into Lloris’ bottom left-hand corner, Thomas Partey hit the post with a beautiful volley, and Eddie Nketiah also came close.

Spurs are unable to answer.
After Spurs struggled to escape their own half, Aaron Ramsdale stopped Harry Kane’s header at the halfway point.

After the break, the Lilywhites significantly improved, and as has been the case so frequently this season, Kane and then Ryan Sessegnon kept Ramsdale busy.

The game became much more competitive, but the visitors maintained their composure under pressure and remained a threat on the break, with Nketiah coming close to widening their margin of victory on a few occasions.

The biggest improvement in Arsenal this season has been their ability to handle pressure, which was displayed as they quickly completed the game to earn a significant victory.
