MOTM: Gabriel Magalhães.

Spurs have won just four points in the Premier League so far this season (W1 D1 L2), their fewest through their opening four matches of a campaign since 2015-16 (3 – W0 D3 L1).

Three of Arsenal’s last four Premier League goals against rivals Tottenham have been from corners – only three of their previous 88 north London derby league goals had been from corners before this.

Since both players have been at the club, this was the first time Arsenal have been without both Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard in a Premier League starting XI. The Gunners’ win rate in the competition with both starting is 73% (27/37).

There were seven yellows cards in the first half of today’s north London derby (5 Tottenham, 2 Arsenal), the joint-most cards ever shown in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League match.

Arsenal’s two lowest possession averages (on record) in a Premier League game against Spurs have both come in 2024, with the Gunners winning both matches.
