Arsenal and Tottenham both recorded wins in differing circumstances this weekend.
Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny celebrates scoring their first goal with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and team mates
Former Tottenham chairman Lord Sugar has branded Arsenal’s late win over Burnley as ‘lucky’, while hailing his old side’s own big victory.
Tottenham beat league leaders Manchester City 2-0, while Arsenal kept pace with their North London rivals by recording a 1-0 win at Turf Moor.
Tottenham’s Dele Alli celebrates scoring their second goal
Spurs’ goals were scored by Dele Alli and an own goal from Aleksandar Kolarov, with Laurent Koscielny netting a late winner for Arsenal.
Sugar, commenting via Twitter, said that he had full confidence in the team he still supports, and was glad to inflict a first defeat on Manchester City.
He was not so pleased to see Laurent Koscielny bundle home a late winner for Arsenal in the late game on Sunday.
He even goaded pal and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, telling him he should not be proud of the Gunners’ last minute victory.
Three points are three points however you can get them, and Arsenal are now on quite a run, winning their last five Premier League games in a row.
This has brought them into third place, one behind Tottenham, who are now a single point behind Manchester City.
