What is happening in North London at the moment? Arsenal have only gone and done the double over fierce rivals Spurs.
North London is often white in recent years but now it’s red, red, red! Arsenal won two-nil at The Tottenham Stadium as Spurs did their usual first-half tragedy again, playing crap and going behind yet again.
How many times they’re being two-nil down this season? Is it four? Is it five? Who knows and, like most Arsenal fans would say, who cares?
There is only one person to blame for these Spurs tactics and it is their super coach Conte and he keeps doing it. Tottenham are quite simply a team of two halves. It’s not just a game of two halves, they showed it again against Arsenal.
Arsenal were brilliant and had an absolutely sensational first half which could have seen them going in at the break three or four nil up. Spurs were lucky to keep it to two.
Arsenal played Tottenham off the park and were worthy winners of this entertaining game.
Tottenham did manage one positive period of play in the second half for about 15 minutes around about the 50-minute mark.It wasn’t enough though as Arsenal did defend exceptionally well.
You have to give it to them, Arsenal are looking solid and what about their goalkeeper? Pre-match many people were saying that Lloris is better than Ramsdale. How wrong they were on this occasion. Ramsdale played a perfect 10.
Another Gunner who for me scored a perfect ten was captain fantastic Martin Odegaard. He controlled the midfield with great positional play, superb passing, and hard work. He even manged to score Arsenal’s second goal from distance. What a player. What a team.
Tottenham were lucky to to finish the the game with 11 men on the pitch as there wwereas some dodgy tackles and an attitude towards the referee coming from Romero. Richarlison looked very frustrated at the end lashing out at Arsenal’s goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale who’s celebrelations wound him right up. Come on Richarlison. Look at how much the Brazilian celebrates when he wins, especially in Brazil.
Anyway, what a game. I worry for Spurs, but luckily for them, Liverpool are slipping more than them. Although they were terrible first half, they were okay second half so there is some hope for Tottenham.
It must be very frustrating being a Spurs fan at the moment and it must be incredible being an Arsenal supporter.
Congratulations to the best team in North London and Arsenal supporters everywhere. Arsenal are back.
