Arsenal edged out Tottenham 1-0 in a tense north London derby, thanks to Gabriel Magalhães’ decisive header from a Bukayo Saka corner in the 64th minute. The Gunners’ defense held firm, securing their second-place position in the Premier League, just two points behind Manchester City.
Despite Tottenham’s strong start and early chances, including efforts from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, they couldn’t find a way past Arsenal’s organized defense, with goalkeeper David Raya making key saves. Arsenal, despite missing key midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, executed a disciplined counter-attacking strategy, frustrating Spurs throughout the match.
This hard-fought win keeps Arsenal on course for their title challenge, while Tottenham’s struggles continue as they sit 13th with only four points from their first four games.
Arsenal now look ahead to a crucial clash with leaders Manchester City, while Tottenham will face Coventry in the League Cup before their next league fixture against Brentford.
