Match recap
On the Tottenham hotspot Stadium the premier League match set off but Arsenal came into this game without start player Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard and therefore the arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had to make various changes; therefore Kai Harverts had to play Ødegaard’s number while Partey and Jorginho played central midfield.
The first half was interesting with both teams threatening to score but the half ended goalless and included several yellow cards for Saliba, timber in the first half of Arsenal and four yellow cards for Tottenham on the other hand.
The second half begun with a yellow card which was given to Jorginho and in the 64th minute Gabriel Magalhaes received a nice ball from Saka which the Brazilian headed perfectly into the roof of the net; this was the goal that separated the two sides. Despite not having his top players, Mikel Arteta immerged victorious in the London derby and go back to winning ways after disappointment during the Brighton draw.
Spurs & Ange Postecoglou were left in a huge disappointment. Tottenham having a large share of 64% ball possession throughout the game and also had 14 shots to Arsenal’s goal. Spurs now drops to the 13th place with just 4 points.
Huge problem for arsenal;
Bukayo Saka complained of pain before substitution and clear if it's was an injury for Saka. This could be a very huge blow to arsenals title ambitions this season. The gunners will have to pray hard that he returns soon because he is a good player and arsenal can afford to keep losing key players to injuries.
On the bright side Jurrien Timber had a very nice performance in his first game for the Gunners.
🔴⚪️✨ Arteta: “Jurrien Timber was just unbelievable in the North London Derby”.
