Mikel Arteta and his players triumphed in the North London derby against Tottenham on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning with a score of 2:3. The Gunners enjoyed a great start to the game and were 0:3 up at the half-time break. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg opened the score in the 15th minute with an own goal, while Kai Havertz assisted Bukayo Saka in the 27th minute and single-handedly scored in the 38th minute to give Arsenal more than a comfortable lead for the 2nd period. Tottenham fought their way back into the game, with Christian Romero scoring from a David Raya’s misplaced pass. Heung-min Son then converted a penalty in the 87th minute to make the score 2:3 but it was too late for the Spurs to mount a comeback.
