They celebrated like they had won the league at White Hart Lane again.
Arsenal won the title at the home of their deadliest rivals in 1971 and 2004 and this felt like a huge step towards winning the Premier League for the first time in 19 years. Mikel Arteta’s men are now eight points clear at the top, the bookies have made them favourites for the first time and it is easy to see why.
Arsenal were magnificent. They were streets ahead of Tottenham, will rarely have a more comfortable win in the North London Derby and bossed the game in every department. Thomas Partey ran the midfield, Martin Odegaard was outstanding again and the Gunners have a resilience in defence which suggests they are strong enough to see the job through.
