Arsenal secured victory over Tottenham on Saturday after running out 3-1 winners against their bitter rivals at the Emirates Stadium. But the win was about a lot more than just bragging rights for the Gunners.
It was a big statement win for Arsenal. After being defeated by Manchester United last month, it was the first time this season they'd beaten a member of the 'big six' and they also became the first Premier League side to beat Spurs this season.
North London Derbies are always huge occasions, but this was billed as a particularly big clash because both sides had started the season in such impressive fashion. However, Arsenal were the dominant side on the day as they moved four points clear at the top of the table.
