Tottenham Hotspurs Vs Arsenal, Premier League 2024/25 | As It Happened
It was an evenly-poised fixture from the start itself, as both sides were involved in quick counter-attacks. Arsenal made a complete mess of their two golden chances inside the first 25 minutes, as Gabriel Martinelli failed to score the opener and break the deadlock in the North-London Derby.
What grabbed the headlines at the end of the first-half was not any particular incident or a goal, but the fact that Tottenham Hotspurs received 5 yellow cards, which led them to create an unwated piece of history.
The second-half was relatively less violent, as Jorginho's yellow card in the 49th minute was the last card to be awarded by referee Jarred Gillett during the fixture.
The decisive moment came in the 64th minute, as Bukayo Saka delivered in a peach of a delivery from the corner, and Gabriel met the ball within 4 yards off the goal line, and his bullet header ended up in the back of the net, as Arsenal took the lead and the away fans went berserk.
Desperate crosses from the home side in the final minutes did not trouble Arsenal as they walked-off comfortable 1-0 winners.
