Arsenal won 3-2 over Tottenham in the North London Derby, putting pressure on Manchester City in the Premier League title chase.
Arsenal have taken another significant step towards lifting the Premier League championship. The Gunners are looking to end their 20-year wait for a league title, as they increased their lead in first position to four points after winning the North London Derby.
Mikel Arteta‘s team successfully negotiated what could have been a season-defining game against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tottenham’s title hopes were swiftly dashed as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg put the ball into his own net before Bukola Saka doubled Arsenal’s lead within the first half-hour, with Kai Havertz adding a third in the first half.
Spurs’ Cristian Romero equalised after halftime, and Son Heung-min converted a late penalty to set up a nail-biting finish. It might be a significant victory for Arsenal, who will appreciate the opportunity to claim north London bragging rights. Manchester City has two games in hand in the title race, but they must win both to overtake Arsenal, who have an excellent goal difference.
Arsenal’s goal differential now stands at +57 following their victory over Tottenham. This is much higher than Manchester City’s total of +48.
It means that Pep Guardiola’s team will have to finish with more points than the Gunners to win the league. Meanwhile, Liverpool is five points behind Arsenal with a goal difference of +41, although they are mathematically still in the title fight.
