Positive #3: Bukayo Saka silences his critics... again
With an assist for the own goal, and a stupendous goal of his own, as well as an exceptional all-round performance, Saka has once again silenced those who have doubted him in recent weeks.
The young star had faced criticism over his performances of late, by rival fans, who had also claimed that Saka essentially feigned injury to try and avoid criticism... what nonsense.
The 22-year-old reminded the world once again just how good he is, and how incredibly important he is to Arsenal and the club's ongoing title fight.
Negative #3: Individual errors
Individual errors have become a rarity over the last couple of seasons for Arsenal, which made the two seen against Tottenham all the more gruelling to witness.
From Rice's kick on Davies to Raya's misplaced kick, it was something of a horror show for fans, many of whom were likely reminded of seasons that they had otherwise tried to forget.
The quality of this team suggests it will not become a regular occurrence, which will be vital to the Gunners' future chances of major honours.
