There is the final whistle and Arsenal win the north London derby 1-0. Three wins in a row for Mikel Arteta’s side away at Tottenham. Gabriel’s aim the distinction on the day.

Odobert shoots from differ and it almost deflects into the aim nevertheless it absolutely came off Werner in an offside space so crisis averted for the visitors.

The seconds are ticking away and Arsenal are edging closer to three points in the north London derby.

Very terminate to the equaliser. It opens up for Kulusevski in a central space round 25 yards out. He tries to make a choice the head corner nevertheless it absolutely goes narrowly over the bar.

Tottenham are running out of time to find an equaliser and they also have not got any quality in the final third. Rather quite loads of aimless crosses. Into the 90th minute.

Porro sends in a depart from the factual and finds the head of Romero, who’s up from centre-succor. It’s a reasonably routine save for Raya.

The free-kick involves nothing.

Tottenham possess a free-kick in a accurate space on the left…

Saka is going to must come succor off.

OFF Saka

ON Nwaneri

Saka has long gone down, powerful to the ire of the home crowd who if truth be told feel love he’s wasting time.

Yet another accurate likelihood for the home side as Porro has the opportunity on the factual to ship in a perilous ball nevertheless the depart is unfortunate.

Now now not long after Sarr tries his ultimate fortune once again from distance nevertheless he can’t maintain his effort heading in the suitable route.

Double Arsenal exchange:

OFF Trossard, Martinelli

ON Sterling, Jesus

Tottenham exchange:

OFF Maddison

ON Werner

About a groans and moans inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because the home followers grow increasingly extra involved as we head in opposition to the final ten minutes of now not contemporary time. Each groups are preparing changes, with Arsenal popularity to bring on Sterling for his debut.

Trossard has a shot saved by Vicario nevertheless the offside flag was once already up in the make-up so it is going to calm now not possess counted anyway.

Tottenham possess had over 60% possession nevertheless possess lacked a clinical, cutting edge in the final third.

Maddison sends in a supply from the left nevertheless Solanke can’t quite gain on the finish of it.

Sarr tries his ultimate fortune from distance nevertheless it absolutely does now not if truth be told trouble Raya.

Double Tottenham exchange:

OFF Bentancur, Johnson

ON Sarr, Odobert

Gabriel (64’)

Arsenal rob the lead. Saka sends in the inswinger from the factual onto the head of Gabriel inside the six-yard box. He has a free header and hammers his header previous Vicario. How was once he that free that terminate to the aim? The Arsenal gamers depart and possess an even time factual in front of their travelling enhance.

“Situation objects had been the Achilles heel of Tottenham all of last season, so it’s no shock Arsenal opened the scoring from one. Spurs had dealt quite well with the corners they confronted in the main half, nevertheless Vicario received boxed in, with White managing to step in front of him earlier than Gabriel headed the ball into the gain.”

Tottenham possess yet every other corner nevertheless they’ve wasted quite a quantity this day. Maddison this time will rob an outswinger from the factual. This time it is despatched into a accurate space nevertheless Tottenham can’t rob advantage.

Arsenal then ruin by Havertz. Saka has a shot with his preferred left foot from the threshold of the box. His effort is blocked nevertheless Arsenal will possess a corner of their possess…

Tame from Johnson. He is stumbled on out wide on the factual and dribbles into the box. He cuts onto his left nevertheless the shot lacks any kind of strength and Raya makes the finest of saves. He has to display camouflage extra quality in that space.

Johnson’s ball during is diverted behind by Gabriel and Tottenham possess a corner on the factual-hand side, which Kulusevski will rob. The Swede takes it speedy to Porro, whose depart is abominable and vastly over-hit.

After sliding in to win the ball succor for his side, Romero has now long gone down, clutching his thigh. He is succor on his toes and could calm continue.

Kulusevski’s depart from the factual is diverted behind by White for yet every other Tottenham corner. The home side possess the momentum in the mean time and Arsenal will be looking to gain by this era unscathed. Nothing comes from the corner.

Eighth booking of the sport and that is one in all the finest. Jorginho hauls Maddison down and that is what you name a definite yellow card.

Solanke wins the ball succor for the home side and performs it out to Johnson on the factual. Solanke continues his speed and meets Johnson’s depart. It came off Arsenal last and Tottenham possess a corner. The hosts rob it speedy and Maddison then whips it in. Van de Ven wins the header nevertheless Raya makes the save.

Martinelli sends in a depart from the left trying to make a choice Saka at the some distance put up nevertheless Vicario is out to smother the depart.

We’re succor under strategy in the north London derby. Will we glimpse extra yellow playing cards? I think so, and it looks quite doubtless that there’s at likelihood of be a crimson.

“There was once a address right here last yr with Curtis Jones getting despatched off for tackling Yves Bissouma. It’s very identical.

“[Jurrien] Timber is incredibly lucky. Other referees would possess despatched him off. It’s low power he has long gone in with, it’s an unnatural action.”

“Tottenham went in at the half-time ruin with five gamers on yellow playing cards. Van de Ven and Kulusevski had been the latest gamers to head into the e book on the stroke of half-time. Referee Jarred Gillett was once booed by the home supporters and Spurs will must be cautious in the second duration.

Arsenal picked up two yellow playing cards in the main half – making seven in entire, which is the joint-most playing cards ever proven in the main half of the Premier League game. Obviously, I knew this stat myself and did now not reproduction it from the Opta X myth…”

The mind video games and battles started earlier than the match even started because the Arsenal mascot gave the Tottenham ones grief. Luke Edwards has the plump myth.

There is the whistle and it remains all sq. at the ruin. No desires nevertheless it absolutely has been action-packed.

Two bookings for Tottenham in the an identical phase. Van de Ven is proven yellow for a heavy spoiled on Trossard and then Kulusevski hauls succor Havertz cynically and could be booked. Each the factual calls and now Tottenham had been proven five yellow playing cards in this first half.

Trossard offers away the ball factual exterior his possess box and Kulusevski finds Johnson on the factual-hand side of the box. The Welshman can’t maintain his shot down and it goes over the bar.

There are three added minutes at the finish of this first half.

Tottenham ruin and could calm possess a corner at the finish of it as Timber blocks Johnson’s shot. Kulusevski’s supply does now not beat the front man, the attach Havertz heads away.

Arsenal possess uncared for a trick with their last few corners. They’ve now not put the supply factual on Vicario despite his frailties.

Vicario has now been booked for his phase in the scuffle. Timber is kind of lucky he was once now not proven a second yellow in the melee.

Liverpool’s Curtis Jones was once despatched off on this floor for something identical nevertheless VAR sticks with the yellow.

“There had been loud boos around the Tottenham stadium when Vicario received booked for grabbing Timber after his disaster on Porro. The large shock was once that Romero didn’t gain extra involved, despite being speedy on the scene.”

Right here we depart. It’s all kicking off. Timber goes in on Porro and both side come together. Referee Jarred Gillett offers a yellow nevertheless Porro stays down. Each groups clash nevertheless VAR has confirmed the on-enviornment resolution.

Vicario is a lucky, lucky boy. Martinelli sends in an inswinger from the left and Vicario makes an absolute mess of punching the ball away. Arsenal will possess yet every other corner from the diversified side because it is adjudged it came off Vicario last.

Arsenal then obtain a meal of the supply and Tottenham definite. Befriend when these sides met in April in this stadium Vicario had a mare from corners. Indisputably Arsenal will factual put every supply on him.

Jarred Gillett gets his yellow card out to e book Bentancur for a spoiled on Havertz. That seemed a harsh yellow nevertheless Gillett points to Bentancur fouling him twice in that sequence. Ange Postecoglou seems quite bemused and presumably understandably so.

End for Solanke. Maddison stands up a depart from the left-hand side of the box. Solanke wins the header at the succor put up and it loops in opposition to the some distance corner, nevertheless it absolutely goes factual wide of the put up. Raya could well possess had it covered.

Tottenham gain their first booking and it is Udogie for a slack disaster on Saka. Now now not the worst disaster nevertheless referee Jarred Gillett decides it is sufficient for a yellow.

Saka finds Havertz at the some distance corner with a depart from the factual nevertheless it absolutely finally ends up being a reasonably overjoyed save for Vicario.

Raya drops the ball under stress from Solanke and it looks love it is going to possess crossed the line nevertheless the whistle has long gone to penalise Solanke. Looking at the replays there is now not powerful in that. It seemingly will in any respect times gain given nevertheless there was once infrequently any contact.

Martinelli could calm attain better. He is in down the left-hand side. He has a quite plenty of to obtain; shoot or strive to sq. it to Saka. He goes for the inclined nevertheless it absolutely is a reasonably straightforward save for Vicario. This game is opening up.

“Arteta factual grew to develop into in opposition to the Arsenal bench in inflame after Martinelli elected to shoot instead of passing to Saka after racing free on the left. Arsenal are playing very powerful on the counter attack nevertheless glimpse dangerous whenever they ruin.”

Likelihood for Arsenal. Martinelli skips previous Porro down the left and stands up a depart. Havertz meets it and heads in opposition to aim, to be denied by Vicario. Arsenal are appealing for a penalty for handball against Romero nevertheless the ball came succor off Vicario from one of these short distance and so speedy that this could under no conditions gain given.

The main booking of the sport goes to Saliba, powerful to the home crowd’s satisfaction. Saliba is penalised for a spoiled and then carries the ball away with him to delay the restart. Jarred Gillett is having none of it and books Saliba. Arsenal had been taking their time over their possess restarts and Gillett appears on to them.

Solanke, you’re going to possess gotten to attain better. Arsenal rob an mountainous likelihood at the succor and Son intercepts. The ball involves Solanke, on the threshold of the box in a central space. He has so powerful time to select his space nevertheless he takes too long and the ball is taken off him.

It could in all probability well now not be a derby without some scuffles. Timber and Johnson gain caught up with one yet every other nevertheless referee Jarred Gillett decides factual a talking to is severe, which was once the factual name.

White goes in heavily on Son down the left and Tottenham will possess a free-kick in a accurate space. Maddison’s supply is a unfortunate one and Arsenal can without pains definite.

Saka performs a accurate one-two with White down the factual and sends in the supply, nevertheless Porro is obtainable to definite away.

“Arsenal possess started in a 4-4-2 formation with Trossard partnering Havertz up front. It offers Spurs a numerical advantage in midfield that they’re going to hope to rob ultimate thing about.”

Martinelli prods behind under stress, which affords Tottenham their second corner of the sport inside the opening 10 minutes. Kulusevski sends it in nevertheless Havertz heads away.

Tottenham maintain it alive and ship it succor by Kulusevski. It’s a perilous supply, which Raya does well to punch away from hazard.

First likelihood of the match comes for the hosts. Solanke finds Son on the left-hand side of the box and he cuts it succor to Kulusevski, whose strike is saved by Raya and goes behind for his or her first corner of the sport. Maddison’s deep supply is simply too flighted and it is a straightforward salvage for Raya.

Tottenham possess long gone very attacking from the begin with their line-up. Bentancur could finish up getting overrun in midfield with Maddison and Kulusevski playing alongside him. These two are very powerful attack-minded gamers so are now not distinguished for his or her defensive work. Will Ange Postecoglou feel sorry about that or will the likelihood pay off?

Arsenal possess the main corner of the match after factual 25 seconds. Like a flash-thinking from a throw-in forces van de Ven into heading behind. Saka takes nevertheless his supply can’t beat the main man, Porro, who heads away from hazard.

We’re under strategy in the north London derby.

“Tottenham possess beaten Liverpool and Manchester United under Ange Postecoglou, nevertheless getting a win against Arsenal could well be his ideal to this point.”

The mind video games and battles possess already begun in the tunnel and it does now not even involve the gamers. An Arsenal mascot has been trying to gain into the heads of the Tottenham mascots. Appropriate one Arsenal mascot nevertheless he’s certainly received some self assurance to give it to the Tottenham children.

That it is seemingly you’ll possess got to face up and the collective has to be the distinction.

Substitutes: Forster, Spence, Davies, Dragusin, Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Odobert, Werner.

Arsenal obtain two changes from their 1-1 intention with Brighton. Declan Rice misses out by suspension while captain Martin Odegaard picked up an ankle injury on Norway accountability.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Jorginho, Havertz, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

Substitutes: Neto, Kiwior, Kacurri, Heaven, Lewis-Skelly, Sterling, Nwaneri, Jesus, Kabia.

On his most efficient recollections of the north London derby: “Potentially afterwards, namely at the same time as you win at home and in addition you possess an even time alongside with your supporters and in addition you know the strategy in which powerful it means. It’s something particular and we possess so many sizable Arsenal supporters since the day that they had been born and looking at our crew, we possess some accurate examples around the main crew besides. They arrive in after the sport and in addition you can well glimpse the emotion and what it means for them. It’s a privilege to possess the ability to make contributions to making anyone if truth be told pleased.”

On Raheem Sterling and if he would be involved against Tottenham: “He looks mountainous! Initially, because of he’s received a large smile on his face, quite loads of energy.

Draw now not think VdV and Romero will love having no one to imprint.

Crew news expected in factual under ten minutes…

So as to perhaps basically the most continually entertaining Premier League fixtures of the previous two a protracted time. 

In contrast to diversified derbies which boast a identical historic pedigree, Spurs vs Arsenal in any respect times seems to bring on the pre-match hype, now not lower than of slack. 

And this yr, again, there feels to be extra riding it on than factual partisan loyalties. 

Arsenal, chasing a first Premier League title under Mikel Arteta, will be five points off Man City in the occasion that they lose this day with a time out to the Etihad upcoming subsequent Sunday.

“ We’re going to head to Spurs with implausible energy and imagine that we’re going to head there to be ourselves and strive to win the sport.”

For Spurs, this has had the feeling of a season that has now not if truth be told gotten going. Regardless of being on high for mountainous swathes of their three video games, they’ve ideal four points to display camouflage for his or her efforts.

A 2-1 loss to Newcastle earlier than the international ruin stung and despite the undoubted self assurance the club has in Ange Postecoglou, a loss right here would turn up the stress gauge that bit extra.

“It’s a mountainous measure nevertheless it absolutely’s now not factual about winning. That you simply will be ready to win a game love this and stroll away knowing they performed us off the park in reality,” Postecoglou stated. 

“ I’ve in any respect times stated to head obtainable against the ideal and make, that’s the ideal measure.

“Then with any luck you’re going to win the sport besides, because of in a roundabout method that’s what you need to attain. 

“If we depart out on Sunday, dominate this game, fabricate extra probabilities, if truth be told nullify them, then I think, no matter the final result, the gamers will stroll off thinking ‘okay subsequent time we’ll possess yet every other crack at it’.”
