Arsenal narrowly avoided a late scare against Tottenham to maintain their lead in the Premier League title race on Sunday. Despite initially establishing a commanding 3-0 lead in the London derby, goals from Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min’s penalty for Tottenham in the second half added tension to the match.
However, Arsenal managed to hold on, securing a 3-2 victory and staying ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table. The win extended Arsenal’s lead over City to four points, with City having a game in hand after their match against Nottingham Forest later that Sunday.
Arsenal’s goals came from a Pierre-Emile Hojberg own-goal, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz before halftime.
