Arsenal have north London bragging rights after an impressive 3-1 derby victory over Spurs at Emirates Stadium continued their recent resurgence.
Mikel Arteta’s side have now won four games on the bounce across all competitions to turn around their fortunes after a dreadful start to the 2021/22 season, with Emile Smith Rowe, captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka all on target in a remarkable first-half display on Sunday.
Tottenham got a late consolation goal through Heung-min Son and Aaron Ramsdale pushed Lucas Moura’s deflected effort onto the crossbar in second-half stoppage time, but Spurs could not prevent a third successive listless Premier League loss.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will certainly have questions to answer after a miserable first derby at the helm, with his side having conceded three goals in three successive top-flight games for the first time in 18 years.
Arsenal have now risen above Tottenham into 10th position, having been bottom of the table heading into the September international break.
