Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Sunday to remain at the top of the Premier League table. According to BBC Sport, an early goal from Kai Havertz and a second-half strike by Bukayo Saka secured the three points for the home side. The result ensures Mikel Arteta's team stays ahead of Manchester City in the race for the title.
Tottenham had several opportunities to score, but the Arsenal defence remained resolute throughout the match. Per reports from the Premier League, Guglielmo Vicario made five saves to keep the visitors in the contest until the closing stages. The defeat leaves Tottenham outside the top four positions as they look to secure European qualification.
Arsenal have now won five consecutive league matches as the season approaches its final weeks. Chief football writer Phil McNulty noted that the title race appears likely to continue until the final day of the campaign. Both teams return to action next weekend for another round of fixtures.
