Some of the Arsenal players have been celebrating in the changing room after the Gunners eased to a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at the Emirates this afternoon.
Arsenal started well but they opened the scoring in controversial circumstances in the 36th minute. Spurs felt they were harshly punished when Davinson Sanchez was adjudged to have fouled Alexis Sanchez and Shkodran Mustafi headed home from the resulting free kick – although replays showed he may have been marginally offside.
The Gunners then doubled their advantage just five minutes later when Sanchez did well to fire home in to the roof of the net from a tight angle to put the hosts in control at the break.
There was no way back for Tottenham in the second half so Arsenal eased to a 2-0 victory that sees them move to within just one point of fourth-placed Spurs but more importantly they take the NLD bragging rights.
Understandably, the Arsenal players have been enjoying the win and goalscorer Mustafi has taken to Twitter to share a photo of him celebrating in the changing room along with Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette, Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac.
Arsene Wenger will be hoping his players can use this performance as a basis to build from and get themselves back in the mix at the top end of the table.
