Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal
Because it was the star duo that made the difference. Tottenham were very down on the pitch, Arsenal had the ball, but were punished very hard on counterattacks.
– It is a tactical triumph for Mourinho. He had to defend well and take advantage of counterattacks. That was exactly what happened, Nils Johan Semb summed up on TV 2.
They are now two points ahead of Chelsea, who played a draw in the previous round, and three points ahead of Liverpool, who play later on Sunday.
Return hearing
It was appropriate enough in the North London derby that Tottenham wished the fans would return to the stadium.
– We miss them, it was special to have them back for this match, Son said in an interview that was shown on TV 2.
And the fans already had fun in the opening against the archrival.
Kane scooped the ball deep into his own half and started Son with a pass on the edge.
Son came onto the field and curved the ball beautifully into the far corner behind a hopeless Bernd Leno.
– World class
Just before the break, roles were switched.
Arsenal went with many men in attack, but the pass to the field against Aubameyang was broken, then the Spurs had room to attack. Lo Celso sped up and played with Son, who drove onto the field. In the overlap came Kane, Son released the ball perfectly and the striker hit the ball into the goal through the crossbar.
– It’s world-class about these players, Semb exclaimed on TV 2.
It was the 11th time they combined to score this season.
Arsenal-krise
In the second half, Arsenal continued to dominate the court game, they also had more opportunities, but they either spoiled or stopped. Like when Toby Alderweireld made a brilliant block on Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who put the ball in the dream position inside the area.
For Arsenal, it continues disappointingly. Sunday’s loss was the sixth of the season, and the team is 15th in the Premier League.
