Arsenal survives scare at Tottenham and extends lead at the top to four points
Arsenal survived a late scare at Tottenham to stay ahead in the race for the Premier League title on Sunday.
A 3-2 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ensured Mikel Arteta’s team will remain at the top of the standings after the latest round of fixtures and keep the pressure on defending champion Manchester City, which played at Nottingham Forest later Sunday.
But Arsenal had to endure a nervous finish despite powering to 3-0 lead in a London derby that was supposed to be one of its biggest tests in the title chase.
Tottenham responded in the second half through Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min’s penalty in the 87th minute.
Under pressure, Arsenal held on to extend its lead over second-place City to four points. After the match against Forest, City will still have a game in hand.
Arsenal took the lead against Spurs through Pierre-Emile Hojberg’s own-goal in the 15th. Bukayo Saka added a second in the 27th and Kai Havertz made it 3-0 at the break with another in the 38th.
