Arsenal do it their way
If you were to look at the stats from this game you might think it was an even contest. Spurs shaded possession 51% to 49%, had 17 shots to Arsenal's 14 and only mustered 0.34 expected goals less than their opponents. Make no mistake though Tottenham were about as close to Arsenal on Sunday as the Virgin Orbit got to space.
Despite a decent start it was Arsenal who edged ahead in contest motoring through the gears to cause Hugo Lloris' own goal, before putting pedal to the metal for Martin Odegaard to seal the game with a long range strike. From that point the race was effectively won, and though it would be wrong to say the Gunners coasted in the second half, there was never any moment were it looked as though the three points wouldn't be making the trip back down the Seven Sisters Road.
