ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta said he was going to “enjoy the moment” after watching his side come from behind to seal a Premier League double over Tottenham last night (Wednesday) at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners moved to within four-points of leaders Liverpool after Leandro Trossard’s low, rasping finish earned them a vital 2-1 victory.

Heung-Min Son gave Spurs a surprise lead midway through the first half – but that lead was cancelled out when Dominic Solanke turned the ball into his own net.

“I’m very proud,” said Arteta. “Now we have the chance to enjoy the moment. Tomorrow we look at Aston Villa – but for now, we all enjoy the moment.

“It was sensational, a good test – in these conditions, and the attitude; we showed what we are made of, and how much we care about our performance.”

The mood was very different in the away dressing room.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said his side had started without the aggression needed for a game of this calibre.

He added: “We were too passive. We let Arsenal have control. I was disappointed with the way we held the ball, and the way we let them dictate the first half.”

Postecoglou withdrew Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr after 45 minutes. “The change was about trying to get back control,” he explained. “We were a little bit better but not anywhere near where I want us.”

Arsenal started well, winning a series of corners and showing intent. Martin Odegaard, playing off a base provided by Thomas Partey and Declan Rice, had Sarr and Bissouma chasing shadows. A rearguard action from the visitors saw shots blocked and balls shanked away – Spurs could not catch their breath.

Kai Havertz nearly caught Antonin Kinsky with the ball at his feet. The Tottenham goal­keeper just about recovered, but it was telling.

Then, out of nowhere, the away side came into the game. Dejan Kulusevski was denied from close range by David Raya’s instincts.

The opener quickly followed in a good 10-minute spell from Spurs. Sarr earned a corner following a gung-ho run from his own half. The Gunners failed to clear their lines, and Son’s shot was deflected in off William Saliba.

An equaliser came five minutes before half-time. Gabriel met Rice’s corner at the far post after Kinsky failed to collect, the last touch coming off Solanke for an own-goal.

Arsenal hit what proved to be the winner just four minutes later when Trossard’s low drive went through Kinsky’s hands.
