Tottenham Hotspur were expected to win against Arsenal this afternoon, but they failed to pick up even a point from the North London derby.
Spurs have a better team than Arsenal do and were in better form heading into the Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium.
However, it is Arsene Wenger’s side who are celebrating at the moment, thanks to a 2-0 victory over their bitter North London rivals.
Shkodran Mustafi put the home team in the lead in the 36th minute, and Alexis Sanchez doubled the advantage just five minutes later.
There were controversial refereeing decisions during the match, but Arsenal were the better team over the 90 minutes.
Tottenham legend Gary Lineker was following the match, and he has pointed out something alarming about Spurs and their results against top teams in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has praised Arsenal for their performance against Spurs and was impressed with the performance of Mesut Ozil.
The defeat to Arsenal must be hugely disappointing for the Tottenham fans, but they should remain optimistic about the season ahead.
There is still enough time and there are still enough matches for Spurs to close the gap on runaway leaders Manchester City.
