Arsenal Hold Nerve in Exciting North London Derby Victory Over Spurs
Arsenal emerged victorious in a pulsating North London derby clash against Tottenham, maintaining their momentum in the Premier League title race with a crucial win.
Despite a late surge from Spurs, Arsenal’s first-half dominance proved enough to secure a vital three points.
The Gunners capitalized on defensive lapses from their rivals, establishing a commanding three-goal lead by halftime.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s own goal and Bukayo Saka’s clinical finish gave Arsenal an early advantage, followed by Kai Havertz’s header just before the break.
However, a moment of indecision from goalkeeper David Raya allowed Cristian Romero to pull one back for Spurs in the second half.
