Arsenal

Arsenal made it look easy in the North London derby, running out 3-1 winners against archrivals Tottenham Hotspur.

"We have a really meaningful opportunity to give a lot of people happiness on a beautiful day and we have delivered that and it is a really great feeling. I tried to give minutes to players because the game had ended and also to try and save energy. [Bukayo Saka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/280555/Bukayo-Saka)'s tame 49th-minute shot straight out in front of him and then allowing the loose ball to squirm under him as [Clement Lenglet](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/193917/Clément-Lenglet) struggled to clear, allowing Jesus a tap-in. Tottenham: Conte will take his Spurs squad to Germany on Tuesday to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. "The players grabbed the game and deserved to win it," Arteta said. "We made a big mistake with the last pass because we had great space. [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) and [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382) for the title. "It was the whole team -- starting from the back to front. That progress has to continue, otherwise speculation will quickly resurface over whether an ambitious striker already proven as one of the Premier League's finest can really achieve his ultimate aims at Tottenham -- and links with [Bayern Munich](/soccer/team?id=132) persist. It will come as little comfort to Kane given the result but he became the first player ever to score 100 away goals in the Premier League with a 31st-minute penalty that drew Spurs level in the first half. Tottenham have won multiple matches without playing well this season, staying in games before their attacking talent comes to the fore, and it appeared for a while that would be the case here as Arsenal dominated the opening half hour before a rare breakaway saw Gabriel bring down Richarlison in the box. For the most part, they also avoided the same mistakes as when losing at [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) in a similar sort of game.

Arsenal meted out their usual punishment to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at The Emirates with Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka all on ...

"From the first second I think we were the better team," Xhaka said. Tottenham began the second half in sloppy fashion, and when Bukayo Saka fired in a shot, Lloris parried it out to Romero who bundled the ball back towards his keeper, only for it to squirm out of the Frenchman's grasp just enough for Jesus to convert. It was a sweet moment for the Brazilian, whose fifth goal of the season sent a reminder to his national side's manager Tite, who left him out of the squad last month. "After we conceded we were struggling a little bit, but in the second half we were much better, and I am so happy to score my first derby goal and help the team to win." They are third with 17 points. Royal was then red-carded in the 62nd minute for a needless kick out at Martinelli deep in Arsenal's half, and five minutes later Xhaka swept in Arsenal's third to leave Tottenham reeling.

Mikel Arteta has said he believes Arsenal's 3-1 win over Tottenham has sent a message to his players they can beat the Premier League's elite.

"Looking at the table and seeing the club in this position is great," continued the Spaniard. It's nothing that we have done yet and there's still a lot of things to improve. That should give them confidence and belief."

Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are “slowly erasing those scars” that have haunted the club over the years, according to BT Sport's Rio Ferdinand.

“I’m sure he will have a good career going forward. He was the most composed centre-back on the pitch today. I think Mikel is slowly, slowly creating a super team." Premier League The club – who are without a Premier League title since 2004 and have not featured in the Champions League since 2016 – have been accused of having a ‘soft centre’ in recent years. The Gunners have made a blistering start to the Premier League season,

The Arsenal manager refused to be drawn into talk of a title challenge, while Antonio Conte lamented officiating standards after Emerson's red card.

I don’t know if they do that in this country but it would be a good idea because the level is so high and we need the level of the referee and VAR the same. The Premier League is a really high level and every part of this situation has to be top.” “There are images and I think everybody can think what is the best decision, but I don’t want to comment on this. “In England it is very difficult because there isn’t the same line. “We know what’s at stake in this game, it’s a bit more than three points,” he said. It’s nothing that we have done yet and there’s still a lot of things to improve.

[Emerson Royal had been sent off for a nasty challenge on Gabriel Martinelli,](https://www.goal.com/en/news/emerson-royal-shown-straight-red-card-challenge-martinelli-left-arsenal-furious/bltcf5203aefee66d6a) Granit Xhaka struck to make sure of the points, and maintain Arsenal's position at the top of the table. To their credit, Arsenal brushed off the disappointment of conceding the penalty by restoring their lead just four minutes into the second half, with Gabriel Jesus tapping home after a horrible error by Hugo Lloris. This was game was billed as being too tight to call by many but, in the end, Arsenal proved far too good for their neighbours as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Tottenham at a cauldron-like Emirates Stadium.

David Seaman has urged Granit Xhaka to 'keep his head' and avoid getting sent off in Saturday's north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.

Xhaka will surely be in Mikel Arteta's starting XI for the meeting with Tottenham, with the 30-year-old having become a pivotal part of the Gunners midfield. A win for Arsenal would see them pull clear at the top of the Premier League table, and extend their advantage over Spurs to four points. Mikel Arteta will undoubtedly be relying on one of his most experienced players to keep his cool and stay focused in Saturday's north London derby.

Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on our supporters following the 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

We know that it’s a day in the calendar that is a chance to deliver something to our people and that brings a little bit more responsibility, but I think the players handled it really well.” “Then we conceded the goal and I loved the reaction of the team. We had good connection, good quality and good intensity in our play, and I could sense that we were up for it.
