Arsenal on Sunday defeated hard fighting Tottenham Hotspurs 3-2 in a London Derby.
Arsenal narrowly escaped throwing away their first half 3-0 lead when the Spurs came back into the second half more determined and hard fighting.
In the first half, Arsenal broke quickly with Bukayo Saka curling home his 15th league goal of the campaign to become the first Arsenal player to score home and away against Spurs in the same season since Ian Wright in 1993-94.
That appeared to be it. But a howler from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya allowed Spurs back in. They will argue they were unlucky to be losing so heavily, with Cristian Romero having headed against a post from close range and Micky van de Ven denied an equalising goal at 1-0 after a VAR check for offside.

But Raya blundered when he miscalculated a chipped pass straight to Romero, who finished from the edge of the penalty area. Then, after referee Michael Oliver was sent for a pitchside review, Son Heung-min scored from the penalty spot. Declan Rice had caught Ben Davies as he tried to clear the ball.
It gave Spurs hope and Arsenal became increasingly frantic, but they held on for the win they needed.
