Arsenal won the North London bragging rights on Saturday with an accomplished 2-0 win over arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the day’s big derby clash.
Arsene Wenger’s team never really looked like losing the match and were comfortable throughout, continuing Spurs’ woeful form at the Emirates. They’ve only won one of their last 12 at the venue, suffering seven defeats in that time.
The Gunners have now moved to within a point of Mauricio Pochettino’s side, in touching distance of the top four.
At the heart of Arsenal’s victory was the outstanding defensive performance from the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi, who coped with the attacking threat of Spurs well. Mustafi was also a goal hero on the afternoon, netting in the 36th minute before Alexis Sanchez doubled the lead five minutes later.
Fans were delighted with Mustafi’s impact, especially considering he was returning from a six week lay-off, last appearing for Arsenal at the start of October.
They took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his afternoon…
