Arsenal emerged victorious against Tottenham in a high-scoring North London derby with five goals

Tottenham and Arsenal clashed in the North London derby at the Spurs' stadium as part of the 35th round of the Premier League.

The first half turned out to be perfect for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta's side scored three unanswered goals against Vicario. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg opened the scoring with an own goal, followed by strikes from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz.

It's worth noting that at 1:0, the ball found the back of David Raya's net, but Tottenham's goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to offside.

In the second half, the visitors confidently controlled the game, but Raya added some drama back into the mix. The Arsenal goalkeeper simply passed the ball to Cristian Romero, who reduced the deficit.

With just five minutes left in regular time, the intrigue intensified. Declan Rice fouled a Spurs player in his own penalty area, conceding a penalty. Son converted the penalty confidently. But the Gooners stood firm and brought the game to victory.

Arsenal now have 80 points and lead Manchester City by 4 points. However, City still have two games in hand. One of those matches, Pep Guardiola's team will play today against Nottingham Forest.
