PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES
Arsenal claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marking their third consecutive win at the venue.
Gabriel’s 64th-minute header from a Bukayo Saka corner proved the decisive moment in a game of few chances.
The win sees Arsenal remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season and marks a historic achievement, as they become the first team to win three consecutive away north London derbies since September 1988.
Despite missing key players Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Merino, Riccardo Calafiori, and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Arsenal kept a clean sheet and deserved their victory.
The team’s midfield trio of Jorginho, Thomas Partey, and Kai Havertz impressed throughout.
An intense atmosphere marked the match, with seven yellow cards shown in the first half, the joint-most in the first 45 minutes of a Premier League match.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s performance, saying, “This result gives us a lot of energy and belief. It’s a good platform to start and now recover ahead of Atlanta, because it’s going to be a tough one.”
The win cements Arsenal’s position as a top contender in the Premier League, and they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
