Arsenal's dream start to the Premier League continued on Saturday when Mikel Arteta guided his side to a huge 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the North London Derby. While the usual bragging rights were up for grabs, so too was the chance for either team to put their title credentials to the test.
The Gunners overcame the challenges they faced as goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka cancelled out Harry Kane's penalty strike. Up next is a Europa League tie against Bodo/Glimt at the Emirates before they face Liverpool next weekend.
"It [momentum] is [important] because the next match in the Europa League here is going to be really tough," Arteta said reflecting on the win. "But we have that now and it’s so powerful and meaningful for us. The next step is to go and do many other things. But we have to, first of all, have what we have, and with that group of players, I think it’s much nicer and easier that something can happen."
