Arsenal has opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League after winning 2-0 away to Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday, January 15, 2023.
The Gunners take full advantage of Manchester City’s loss to Manchester United on Saturday with an impressive show of style in the first half.
Arsenal’s first goal came after a blunder from Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris when he fumbled a Bukayo Saka cross inside and threw it inside his own net after 14 minutes.
But Mikel Arteta’s side deserved the top spot as captain Martin Odegaard drilled in the second goal from outside the area nine minutes before the break.
Spurs was so poor in the first half. They got their chances but the visiting keeper Aaron Ramsdale avoided any ball from going into his net.
Hugo Lloris’ own goal and Martin Odegaard’s long-range strike in the first half earned Arsenal’s first away league win against Spurs since 2014.
