Mikel Arteta's team achieved a great victory in the Pivnichny London derby (3:2) but did not see the result of the dismal champion.

Arsenal continues their championship fight with Manchester City and, as part of the 35th round of the elite division, goes to Tottenham as a guest. Mikel Arteta does not know the starting place for the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko, while the left-hander is in defense from the first team of Takehiro Tomiyasu. In Tottenham, Pierre-Emil Geibjerg and Timo Werner will start.

Since the beginning of the last century, the teams have demonstrated that they will fight for the ball, and there have been some difficult moments, even though no one could reach the striking position.. However, the visiting stars didn’t check the goal - Edegor hung it from the back to the near post, and Geiberg, when trying to knock the ball, cut it at the goal. 0:1. Of course, Arsenal got used to the fact that they play the game very well, but the end of the dance became unsatisfactory.

Tottenham then even more courageously went into attack and in one episode Mikki van de Ven reacted to the rebound of the ball after hitting Porro and shooting Raya from 10 meters. Meanwhile, after watching the replay for an hour, the referee flagged Van de Ven for offside and called for a goal.. For a decade, Kulushevsky, and then Maddison, fell into someone else's penalty area, but missed Michael Oliver's whistle, and in a counterattack, Arsenal scored - Saka took the pass from the depths of Gavertz, moving into the center and shooting exactly into the far corner. 0:2.

Postecoglou’s team did not want to give up, and even in the first half they conceded the third goal - Gavertz jumped on Rice’s pass from Kutovoy and fired a shot from several meters away, not depriving Vicario’s chances. 0:3. Before that, as they play at the break, “Spurs” would like to get even one ball, if Son had rejected the pass from deep and punched through from a driving position in someone else’s penalty area.

The Gospodars' coaching staff immediately released Pape Sarah for the first half and tried to take over the game initiative, while Arteta's team controlled the ball and did not give the opponent plenty of opportunities to score. In addition, the Gunners could have scored a fourth goal if Gavertz threw the ball at the far post to Bukayo Saka, and he shot it in one shot - Vicario miraculously saved the shot.

In the middle of the second half, Tottenham still reached their goal - Romero stumbled into the pressure of someone else's free kick and grabbed a nearby pass from Raya. After which the Argentinean shot straight into the far corner. 1:3.

The rulers did not give up hope of scoring yet, but Arsenal controlled the group. It stayed like this until the final hour of regulation, when Rice missed the ball by hitting Devies at his free kick. Oliver blew his whistle and told the VAR to the referee that a penalty should be awarded. Son Hin Min successfully realized the eleven-meter. 2:3.

Tottenham - Arsenal 2:3 Goals: Romero, 64 Son, 87 - Geib'erg (ag), 15 Saka, 27 Gavertz, 38 Tottenham: Vicario - Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Devs (Lo Celso, 89) - Gabe.
