Arsenal pulled off a thrilling 2-1 win over north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium, narrowing their gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points. Son Heung-Min opened the scoring for Spurs in the 25th minute, but Arsenal responded with two goals of their own.
Gabriel Magalhães headed past Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from a Declan Rice corner kick, and Leandro Trossard scored the winner in the 44th minute. The tense match featured several set pieces that ultimately decided the outcome, including Arsenal’s fourth consecutive league goal from corners.
The win lifts Arsenal into second place in the Premier League table, while Tottenham remains in 13th position after their 11th league defeat of the season. Mikel Arteta’s side will face pressure to improve results and bolster their forward line, which has struggled in front of goal. The match serves as a wake-up call for Tottenham manager Arne Slot ahead of his team’s challenging trip to Brentford on Saturday.
