Prior to the match, Arsenal dumped 0-3 while playing away from home at Etihad. There was speculation that North London derbies could soon be dominated by Tottenham as Arsenal fall further and further from the top four.

At the Emirates, both sides took longer than expected to open the scoring. Arsenal's center-back Mustafi scored the first goal before Alexis Sanchez doubled the lead. In the second half, Arsenal managed to keep an amazing clean sheet. Unlike the majority of games that Arsenal has played, the team shared possession equally with Tottenham. The Gunners had slightly lesser possession of the ball at 48%, but they had more shots on target.

Getting a positive result over strong rivals has always been able to cheer the fans and the result of the North London Derby at the Emirates is no exception. Captain of the match, Laurent Koscielny, did his job well to keep Harry Kane quiet. The former Arsenal academy player has been known for scoring against his old club is almost every match. In that particular match, The Lilywhites were kept quiet.

It was Wenger's second last North London Derby and a memorable one for keeping Pochettino's side at bay.
