Third victory in a row for Arsenal (3-1) and third defeat for Tottenham with three goals conceded, the North London derby on Sunday confirmed the crossed destinies of the Gunners and Spurs, during the 6th day of the Championship of England.

The two teams, who had started their season on an equally divergent basis - three wins for Tottenham, three losses for Arsenal - find themselves tied on points (9) in the middle of the standings.

Mikel Arteta's men (10th) are ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo (11th) in the number of goals scored, 5 against 4.

The dynamics are clearly favorable to the Spanish coach who finally has all his workforce available and benefits from a recruitment - Aaron Ramsdale in goals, Ben White Takehiro Tomiyasu in defense, Martin Odegaard in the middle - who seems to have hit the mark.

After timid success against the Red Lantern Norwich (1-0) and the modest Burnley (1-0), his players have this time completely mastered the match.

It must be said that the Spurs made it easier for them, as they seemed without ideas, without intensity, without determination for 70 minutes.

The score was already acquired at the break thanks to Emile Smith-Rowe, well served by Bukayo Saka (1-0, 12th), and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2-0, 27th), who had benefited from the passivity of the defense opposing.

The third goal symbolized the horrors in which Harry Kane is struggling, after his abortive transfer to Manchester City.

After losing the ball 25 meters from the opposing goals, he sprinted to his surface to defend, but he missed his tackle on Saka, and the cross strike from his young teammate in the selection hit the mark (3-0, 34e).

To make matters worse, Kane saw a shot well repelled by Ramsdale (62nd) and a chain control of the sole / small ball above the goalkeeper, fail on the wrong side of the left post (63rd).

The reduction in the score by Son Heung-min (3-1, 79th) and the cross-section found by Lucas Moura (90 + 1) will put a little balm in the heart of Spurs, but the decline started with the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 has not yet been stopped.
