Arsenal delivered a determined performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday night. The win moves the Gunners to second place in the Premier League table, narrowing the gap to Liverpool to just four points, though Liverpool has a game in hand.
The match started with Tottenham’s Heung-Min Son scoring against the run of play. However, Arsenal bounced back before halftime. Gabriel Magalhaes’ header, which deflected into the net, leveled the score. In the second half, Leandro Trossard’s fierce strike sealed the win for Mikel Arteta’s men.
After the game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s energy and determination. Speaking to BBC Sport, he said, “From the first minute, we were intense and played with real purpose. The atmosphere was incredible, and it’s always great to make our supporters happy.”
Arteta also highlighted his team’s resilience, noting their ability to bounce back despite playing 120 minutes just three days earlier. “We had to work hard and create big chances. When you get opportunities to close the gap, you must take them,” he added.
Arsenal’s focus now shifts to their next match against Aston Villa on Saturday, where they hope to continue their impressive run in the Premier League.
