Bukayo Saka has hailed a ‘massive’ win for Arsenal after a ‘frantic’ North London Derby at Tottenham.
Arsenal extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League to four points after an enthralling win over Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Gunners took control of the contest early on and raced into a three-goal lead before half-time, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg heading into his own net from a Saka set-piece.
Spurs then saw a goal ruled out, their celebrations cut short after goalscorer Micky van de Ven was adjudged offside by VAR.
Saka scored Arsenal’s second just moments later, as he skipped inside to fire in a finish for his 15th Premier League goal of the campaign.
It was three before the break as Arsenal scored from another set-piece, with Kai Havertz heading in from Declan Rice’s delivery to send the travelling fans into dreamland. Arsenal, however, survived a second-half scare as Spurs fought back into the game after the break. Cristian Romero, who had earlier twice come close with headers, capitalised on an awful error from David Raya to reduce the deficit.
