It’s great that Arsenal found a way to win despite Tottenham dominating the play

We’ve heard Dean Ashton claim that Arsenal set up like a newly promoted team: keen to defend and looking to capitalise on the slim opportunities they get. Theo Walcott also claimed Arsenal won like a Jose Mourinho team, highlighting how defensive they had to be to ensure that they won, even if by a narrow margin.

True to these assertions, Arsenal really didn’t dominate that game, with their average game possession being 36.3%.

Despite not looking dominant, Arsenal created the biggest chances, demonstrating that they weren’t second best at everything.

The Gunners had 6 corners; Spurs had 7.

They had 4 shots on target; Spurs had 5.

Arsenal made 9 interceptions; Spurs also made 9.

Spurs did dominate Arsenal, but they didn’t outplay.

Gooners need to understand that Mikel Arteta and his team had a game plan for the North Derby, and it clicked.

In addition to demonstrating the Gunners’ newfound winning mentality, the 1-0 victory over Spurs demonstrated the team’s increased adaptability to any situation.

After watching the NLD, I am filled with confidence in our Gunners’ chances at the Etihad. Are you with me?
