LATEST NEWS: Bukayo Saka Delivers Strong Statement to Tottenham Following Arsenal’s North London Derby Win
After Arsenal secured a 1-0 triumph over Tottenham in Sunday’s intense North London derby, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka sent a firm reminder to Spurs that North London remains “still ours.” With Arsenal claiming 10 points out of a possible 12, the win was sealed by Gabriel’s second-half header, which came from a precisely delivered corner by Saka. This victory lifted Arsenal to second in the Premier League standings, just behind Manchester City.
Despite the absence of key players Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, Arsenal’s defense held strong, limiting Tottenham’s chances throughout the game. This marks the third consecutive away win for Arsenal against Spurs in the Premier League, a streak that began after their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham in May 2022. Following the match, Saka posted a celebratory image on Instagram with the caption, “Still Ours!” accompanied by a red heart and pin emoji, further asserting Arsenal’s dominance over their North London rivals.
The win was particularly impressive given Arsenal’s depleted lineup, highlighting the resilience and determination of Mikel Arteta’s squad. Even sidelined, Declan Rice continued to show his support for the team, sharing encouraging messages on social media.
In his post-match press conference, a visibly pleased Arteta praised the importance of the victory for both the team and the fans. He applauded the players for their persistence, acknowledging how they overcame injury setbacks to deliver a solid performance.
As Arsenal moves forward in the Premier League, they now shift focus to their upcoming matches, aiming to maintain their current momentum.
