Arsenal secured a crucial victory against Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners, eager to close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the table, dominated the first half, despite falling behind to a Son Heung-min goal. A Dominic Solanke own goal and a Leandro Trossard strike before halftime turned the tide in Arsenal 's favor. Spurs struggled to mount a comeback in the second half, failing to create any significant threats.
The win saw Arsenal move to within four points of Liverpool, although they have played one more game. The match began with a palpable intensity from both sides, with Arsenal immediately pressing high and forcing turnovers. Tottenham, under new manager Ange Postecoglou, adopted their usual possession-based approach but found it difficult to break through Arsenal's resolute defense. The first 22 minutes belonged to Arsenal, who controlled the tempo and territory, with Spurs barely venturing past halfway. However, Tottenham struck a crucial blow in the 23rd minute when Son Heung-min, capitalizing on a loose ball from a corner, found the back of the net. Arsenal responded swiftly, equalizing just minutes later through a Solanke own goal. Leandro Trossard then put Arsenal ahead with a clever finish, leaving Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky stranded. The Gunners continued to press in the second half, with Kai Havertz going close with a header and another shot that Kinsky saved. Despite a few substitutions from Postecoglou, Tottenham failed to create any clear-cut chances, leaving Arsenal to comfortably see out the victory. The result is a significant boost for Arsenal's title aspirations, while Tottenham will be looking to regroup and find their form in the coming weeks
