The first half turned into an ordeal for the Spurs who conceded a third goal by Havertz, before the break (3-0, 38th). In the second half, Tottenham got up and regained hope after Romero reduced the score (3-1, 58th), before Son reduced the score at the end of the match (3-2, 87th). But this was not enough to recover and Arsenal therefore emerged victorious from this Derby. The Gunners are at the top of the PL with four points ahead of Manchester City, who have two games in hand. For their part, Spurs lose the opportunity to get closer to the Champions League and remain 7 points behind Aston Villa.
