Arsenal showed strong nerve in the north London derby to stay top of the Premier League, keeping the title race on track to go down to the wire.
After blowing a two-goal lead against Wolverhampton Wanderers, there were doubts about Mikel Arteta’s side, especially with Manchester City chasing. But against Spurs, now managed by Igor Tudor after the sacking of Thomas Frank, Arsenal were calm and dominant.
Despite the home crowd’s big pre-match talk, Tottenham were outclassed. Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top, although Pep Guardiola’s City still have a game in hand.
