Full Match Report
The match was marked by significant moments and standout performances from both teams all through.
Tottenham opened the scoring in the 25th minute when Son Heung-min’s deflected volley found the back of the net, catching Arsenal’s defense off-guard.
However, Arsenal responded just before halftime. A corner taken by Declan Rice led to a header from Gabriel Magalhaes, which deflected off Dominic Solanke for an own goal, leveling the score.
The Gunners seized the lead four minutes later. Leandro Trossard received a pass inside the box and skillfully placed a left-footed shot beyond goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky, making it 2-1.
Despite opportunities for both sides in the second half, including a disallowed goal for Tottenham due to offside, the scoreline remained unchanged.
A notable aspect of the match was the inclusion of young talent. Arsenal’s 16-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly became the second youngest player to start in a North London derby, delivering an impressive performance in midfield.
Tottenham also featured young players, with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in the starting lineup, marking the first time in Premier League history that three players aged 18 or younger started in this fixture.
The match was not without controversy. Arsenal’s equalizing goal stemmed from a corner that some argue should not have been awarded, as officials missed a prior touch by Leandro Trossard.
This decision sparked debate among fans and pundits alike. With this victory, Arsenal climbed to second place in the Premier League standings, amassing 43 points from 21 games
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s winless streak extended to five matches, leaving them in 13th place with 24 points.
