Arsenal ended their eight-game streak of winless Premier League visits to North London rivals Tottenham in style with a professional 2-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A first half own goal from Hugo Lloris closely followed by a delightful strike from Martin Odegaard sealed the victory, with Aaron Ramsdale making a number of key saves in the second half to keep the clean sheet intact.
The result and display is a defining moment in the Gunners season, especially with regard to their collapse at the very same stadium last season which saw Spurs leapfrog their rivals to claim fourth spot in the Premier League. However, there was no such chance of that happening on Sunday, with Mikel Arteta's side controlling the tempo of the game throughout.
It was also a defining weekend in the title race as second-placed Manchester City were beaten at Old Trafford by Manchester United, who have now seemingly emerged as shock title contenders. Erik ten Hag's side will be able to test that claim soon as they take on Arsenal at Emirates Stadium this weekend, with the Gunners likely seeking revenge on the only team who have beaten them in the league this season.
