Now chasing Man City
Tottenham v Arsenal – LIVE from 3pm
Arsenal remain hot on the heels of defending champions Manchester City in the English Premier League ahead of their head-to-head clash!
The runners-up beat arch-rivals Tottenham 1:0 (0:0) in the north London derby on Sunday and are now two points behind the Citizens in second place. The golden goal for the third away win in a row against Tottenham was scored by central defender Gabriel Magalhaes with a header from a corner (64').
Combative match
Arsenal are on ten points after four league games, while Tottenham are in the bottom half of the table with just four points after their second defeat in a row. Spurs made a strong start to the match, which was characterized by a lot of fighting, and also had significantly more possession. However, Arsenal held out despite the high-profile absences of midfield aces Declan Rice (suspended) and Martin Ödegaard (injured in the international friendly against Austria) and did not allow any compelling goalscoring opportunities.
Powerful central header from Gabriel
Offensive star Bukayo Saka delivered the decisive corner precisely to the middle, where Gabriel scored with a powerful, central header from inside the five-meter box. The 26-year-old Brazilian has already proven his scoring prowess on several occasions: he has scored a total of twelve league goals in the past three seasons. Arsenal have now won ten of their eleven league games away from home in 2024, with the only draw coming in the title duel with Man City at the end of March.
The next edition takes place next Sunday (5.30pm) in Manchester. With an away win in the clash, the Gunners would take over at the top of the table. Newcastle are still level on points with Arsenal in third after a 2-1 away draw at winless Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in 18th place and still missing Sasa Kalajdzic due to his knee injury.
