Arsenal Revives Title Hopes with 2-1 Win Over Tottenham

Posted : 16 January 2025

Arsenal reignited their Premier League title aspirations with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby, following a resilient comeback. Mikel Arteta's team was initially stunned by Son Heung-min's early goal, but they responded strongly, with an own goal from Dominic Solanke and Leandro Trossard's strike just before halftime putting them in front. This win, their first in four matches, propelled Arsenal to within four points of league leaders Liverpool, who were held to a draw by Nottingham Forest the previous day.

 

Arsenal’s recent struggles, including setbacks in the League Cup and FA Cup, made the victory essential for Arteta’s side, who were determined to prove their resilience. Despite injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, who is potentially out for the season, Arsenal showed character in overcoming their rivals. The win also extended Arsenal's dominance over Tottenham, having now won seven and drawn one of their last eight league encounters against their bitter north London foes.

 

For Tottenham, the loss added to a concerning run of form, with manager Ange Postecoglou under increasing pressure as his team has struggled with consistency. Despite a memorable League Cup victory over Liverpool and a narrow FA Cup win over Tamworth, Tottenham has failed to win in their last five league matches, dropping to 13th place. Arsenal’s victory was further compounded by Tottenham's defensive struggles, with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky nearly gifting the Gunners a goal in a nervy debut.
