In what is becoming a theme, Arsenal defeated Tottenham in their building 1-0 thanks to a Gabriel header.

No Martin Odegaard, no Riccardo Calafiori, and no problem for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta's side emerged victorious in the North London Derby 1-0 thanks to a second-half header from Gabriel.

With the Gunners continuing to get the better of Spurs in their building, winning the last three in N17, Arteta's team has regained its groove against its fierce rivals.
