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.

Arsenal meted out their usual punishment to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at The Emirates with Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka all on ...

"From the first second I think we were the better team," Xhaka said. Tottenham began the second half in sloppy fashion, and when Bukayo Saka fired in a shot, Lloris parried it out to Romero who bundled the ball back towards his keeper, only for it to squirm out of the Frenchman's grasp just enough for Jesus to convert. It was a sweet moment for the Brazilian, whose fifth goal of the season sent a reminder to his national side's manager Tite, who left him out of the squad last month. "After we conceded we were struggling a little bit, but in the second half we were much better, and I am so happy to score my first derby goal and help the team to win." They are third with 17 points. Royal was then red-carded in the 62nd minute for a needless kick out at Martinelli deep in Arsenal's half, and five minutes later Xhaka swept in Arsenal's third to leave Tottenham reeling.

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."

The Arsenal manager refused to be drawn into talk of a title challenge, while Antonio Conte lamented officiating standards after Emerson's red card.

I don’t know if they do that in this country but it would be a good idea because the level is so high and we need the level of the referee and VAR the same. The Premier League is a really high level and every part of this situation has to be top.” “There are images and I think everybody can think what is the best decision, but I don’t want to comment on this. “In England it is very difficult because there isn’t the same line. “We know what’s at stake in this game, it’s a bit more than three points,” he said. It’s nothing that we have done yet and there’s still a lot of things to improve.

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.

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.

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.

“From the first second I think we were the better team,” the Swiss midfielder said. That strategy paid off on the half-hour mark when Bukayo Saka turned the ball over and the visitors launched a quick counter that ended with Arsenal giving away a penalty as defender Gabriel lunged in to trip Richarlison in the area. The usually feisty derby fixture had been surprisingly void of tough challenges and fouls, with not a single player getting booked in the first half. Arsenal largely dominated possession in the first half as Tottenham was content to sit back and wait for counter-attacking opportunities. Tottenham would have climbed above Arsenal into first with a win, but instead saw its 13-game unbeaten run in the league stretching back to last season come to an end. “To be honest it’s the second time I scored in a derby.

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.

Arsenal transfer news: Zinchenko leaves former teammate wishing he'd never left after poor start to the season.

Now the Gunners have poached two of the most talented players from the pool at the Etihad, and the gap they've left behind is already obvious. The Ukrainian can play in midfield and defence and is one of the best technical players at the club. He ended the campaign with 11 goals and five assists, with Jesus battling for the same right-wing spot and Zinchenko's support from fullback on the opposite side. [Manchester City](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc), and we know how good the players are at City. Simpson played with City forward Riyad Mahrez during the famous 15/16 season for the Foxes and knows how talented the Algerian is, but without Jesus and Zinchenko, his form has dropped off.
