It was a tale of two goalkeepers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday evening. At one end of the pitch Hugo Lloris dropped an almighty clanger to give Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute, whereas his counterpart, Aaron Ramsdale, delivered a man-of-the-match display after producing save after save to leave Tottenham incredibly frustrated.
Ramsdale's heroics ensured Arsenal secured a 2-0 win at the home of their fierce rivals, thus boosting their title chances and opening up an eight-point lead over Man City at the summit of the Premier League in the process. Tottenham, on the other hand, are now five points away from Manchester United in fifth having played one game more.
Needing to produce a solid first-half display against the table toppers going on their own slow starts to games this campaign, it was all too easy for Arsenal in the opening 45 minutes as they took a two-goal advantage into the break. The opener came through a Lloris own goal after he failed to keep out Bukayo Saka's cross from the right flank, something which Gary Neville described as "so poor" during commentary.
