Arsenal journeyed to Tottenham to maintain their position in the title race.
The match began favorably for the Gunners, with Hojberg inadvertently scoring an own goal from Rice’s corner, giving them an early lead in the derby.
Van der ven thought he had equalised for Spurs, only to be ruled out by the flag for an offside in the build-up.
Despite having less of the ball compared to Totteham, Arsenal got a second when Havertz looped a sensational through ball for Saka who dummied Ben Davies to the left for a bottom corner finish.
Havertz made it three, this time turning another corner kick into the net as Mikel Arteta’s men held on to a 3-0 halftime lead.
Persistence finally paid off for Ange’s men in the second half, as Romero found himself in the striker’s position to pounce on Raya’s sloppy pass, to send the goalkeeper the wrong way, as Spurs started to find their way back into the game, with Arsenal conceding their first away goal in almost 600minutes of football.
VAR had a hand in Totteham’s second, spotting Rice’s foul in the box for a penalty which Son scored, making it his 8th goal in his last 8 games in the north London derby.
Nerves and pressure started to pile on the Gunners in the final stages of the half, but resilient defending insured all three points as they remained top of the league with 80 points, one better than rivals Manchester City.
