Arsenal in dreamland after beating Spurs, going eight clear (1 News)

It was Arsenal's first away league win at its fiercest rival since 2014, having lost 3-0 here last year.

But Ramsdale stuck out a foot that time to parry his low shot across goal. Things did turn heated after the final whistle, when a young Tottenham supporter jumped atop a barrier and appeared to aim a kick at Ramsdale as he was collecting his water bottle behind the goal. But he was beaten again shortly afterward when a perfectly struck volley from Partey from outside crashed against the post. Only two good saves from Lloris and the woodwork prevented Arsenal from taking an even bigger lead, with Thomas Partey smashing a long-distance volley against the post in the 24th. It leaves a sour taste but I’m sure we’ll enjoy it when we go back to the dressing room.” Newcastle and Man United are both nine points behind while Tottenham is now 14 points back in fifth place, having played a game more than Arsenal.

He then denied Kane again and [Ryan Sessegnon](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/241328/Ryan-Sessegnon) early in the second half as Spurs fought to get back into the game, so his contribution was vital. It is a shame as it is just a game of football at the end of the day. They lacked ideas and organisation, and confidence seems to be in short supply, but Spurs have now reached the decisive stage of their season. [Hugo Lloris](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/43372/Hugo-Lloris) own-goal followed by a long-range strike by [Martin Odegaard](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/203669/martin-ødegaard) -- both in the first half -- were enough to claim the points and maintain Arsenal's bid to win their first title since Arsene Wenger's Invincibles in 2003-04. [France](/soccer/team?id=478) keeper -- he announced his retirement from international football after the World Cup -- almost gifted a goal to Eddie Nketiah with a poor clearance. There is little sign of another bounce this term, but Spurs will need to find something pretty quickly because those next three league games could see them come away with zero points if they perform as poorly as they did against the Gunners. Now, the mistakes are becoming too regular, and Spurs need to start looking for a replacement. Whether Arsenal's squad is deep enough to last the course remains to be seen, and plenty of teams have failed to sustain a good first half of the season into the second half. This was a day of contrasts for the two goalkeepers on duty. 15, Arsenal's title credentials really will be placed under scrutiny, but they breezed through the first challenge by beating Spurs with a scoreline that flattered the home side.

Tottenham press conference live with Conte on Lloris mistake, Sarr ... (Football.London)

The Tottenham Hotspur boss is speaking to the media following the loss against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Then they got the first goal and had the better chances in the first half. We started well but then we conceded a goal and after this goal we created an important chance with Sonny and the keeper made a fantastic save and then we conceded another goal. Hugo for us is a player who is very important for the dressing room, the personality and he's one of the best keepers in the world." We created the chances to score and we didn't lose our head. I was taking a bit of risk with him, only three days in training with the team and see Richarlison back on the bench. If we get the first then who knows what happens. The risk is to lose your head and concede other goals. It became 2-0 on 36 minutes when Martin Odegaard was given plenty of time and space to strike a low shot in the bottom right corner. Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Conte after the game. Football is this and sometimes you can do positive and save many situations but honestly I consider Hugo one of the best keepers in the world and it can happen. The mistake of the keeper is more noticeable. He also had Richarlison back on the bench after his World Cup injury but Rodrigo Bentancur did not recover in time for the game.
