Mikel Arteta's team confirmed their status as the best team in London.
As part of the fourth round of the elite division of the English Championship, Arsenal visited Tottenham. Mikel Arteta replaced Declan Rice and Martin Jedegaard, trusting Jorginho to start and moving Leandro Trossard to midfield. Oleksandr Zinchenko submit without wasting your application. In Tottenham, Sarr was left on the bench, while Bentancur and Maddison came on in the center of the field.
The teams started the match at a high pace and the first moment without bothering to check for a long time - Son made a pass to the center in someone else's penalty area, and Kulusevski shot through, then Raya transferred the ball to Kutovyi. Already in the offensive attack, Kulusevski hung from the right flank, and the ball flew into the far corner - Raya pulled into the string and turned his team.
Arsenal did not give in to the game initiative, but the Gunners organized their response - Gavertz headed in after Martinelli's cross from the flank, and Vicario reached the ball in the right corner.. For a few years, the guests ran out of a very dangerous attack, but Martinelli greedily punched into the far corner, wanting to make a pass to Saka.
Bias on the field became more and more intense, and the referee constantly had to show the last cards. Tottenham created a good chance - Solanke made a header after Maddison's cross, and the ball went just wide. At the break, the teams went for the equal rahunka, and already at the beginning of the second half, the “spurs” two started to hit their head. Solanke's shot went to Kutovy after a rebound, and Van de Ven's shot hit Raya.
It seemed that the territorial advantage would be entirely on the sides of Tottenham, and that the “spurs” would forget the axle-axe, otherwise ending up with Arsenal. . 0:1.
Anga Postekoglu immediately reacted with substitutions, but did not go into creating insecurity without someone else’s gates.
Tottenham wanted to control the final assault, send their attackers to the attack by Cutie Romero, and everything was fine. Arsenal gained minimal victory and their third victory on the Spurs field.
