Al Arsenal His legs were starting to shake: just three wins in 2026 and 13 points out of a possible 24. It was the day to take a step forward and, thanks to the doubles of those discussed Rooted y Ezethe ‘gunners’ reigned again (1-4) in the North London Derby achieving his fourth consecutive victory in the fiefdom of a Tottenham who is beginning to see the decline up close. With one more game, the distance of five points with the City in the leadership.
The countless casualties that fill the infirmary of the Tottenham conditioned the first eleven of a Igor Tudor who, even so, did not give up his recognizable line of three by embedding Straw as a third central defender and isolating a First Class from whom he achieved a great level in Juventus. Arteta, for his part, only introduced two changes compared to the men who tied in The Molineux: Eze y Trossard.
Just over five minutes had passed when the game was stopped due to a technical problem in the telecommunications of one of the assistants. Peter Bankes. Before, darling had blocked a ‘headshot’ from a Rooted that, shortly after, he took a ‘shoe’ that grazed the wood.
I didn’t want Arteta that the rhythm decreased and the Arsenal he continued looking for the tickling in the interval Straw-Gray. Of course, the best chance, as usual, came from a set piece. he put it Of from the corner flag, he discharged Rooted in the second post… and A cross He headed wide.
It was from then on when the Tottenham began to increase the level of intensity in the duels to balance the clash. They did not create any chances… although they managed to minimize the feeling of danger over the goal defended by Vicario during the initial stretch.
Now, just when the first half hour of the meeting was over, Of overflowed a passive Pope Sarr on the right wing and put a ball into the heart of the area transformed by Ezewho had not scored in the Premier since his hat-trick in the first leg. After the ‘soap opera’ experienced in the summer, it is clear that the ‘spurs’ are their ‘fetish’ rival.
Until then, the Tottenham had given no sign of danger. But, as soon as the ball was put into play, Declan Rice incurred an improper loss under the pressure of a First Class that put the tie on the scoreboard. First – and only – shot by the men of Tudor in the first half… and the French striker’s first goal this season in Premier.
Did not introduce new features Arteta at rest seeing that the Arsenal He went to rest a little more in tune with the heads-up of Of ante Vicar and a cross shot from Trossard that removed the splinters from the wood. MikelHowever, it didn’t take long for him to send a Martin Odegaard that he was back to the call.
He showed off Raya to deny the goal to Xavi Simons in the first action of the second half. But, in response, Rooted He put on his mask signing 1-2. He received a tense pass from Timber at the crown of the area, he adjusted his body and took a powerful shot at the long post that made the stretch of Vicar.
Again through First Classhe Tottenham He achieved the tie as soon as the game resumed. However, his push on Gabriel to get his compatriot off his back did not go unnoticed by the referee and the goal was quickly overturned. Artetayes, he intervened by removing a Timber conditioned from the 27th minute for a yellow. His place was taken by Flycatcherwho recalled his time as a full-back in Mestalla.
Of He was able to put the ball in the way with a shot at the doll. But, when he was preparing to leave Solanke, Eze made an appearance again, collecting a rejection from his own Bukayo to seal his double in the 60th minute. It seems that your thing with him Tottenham It’s already personal.
Tudor did not stop the change… although his duo with First Class It lasted less than 10′. Richarlison He came in to replace the Gaul and, when the Arsenal seemed to have put the match in the fridge, he hit a ‘heel’ at the near post that Raya he took it over the line… after it slipped under his legs. Feline reflexes.
He Tottenham He was able to get fully involved in the match. But, after the scare that gave Of after a fight with Xavi Simons, Rooted He closed the rout in stoppage time by scoring his eighth goal (15 in total) since the turn of the year. His legs didn’t shake. Arsenal…and reigned again North London derby.
