Tottenham Won: 68

Draws: 55

Tudor’s first match at the helm of Tottenham sees them make two changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Newcastle on February 10. Palhinha starts in the middle of the park with Gallagher and Bissouma to his left and right due in part to an injury to Wilson Odobert, and in attack, Solanke is dropped to the bench for Kolo Muani, who is reuniting with the Croatian coach for the second time, after their stint together at Juventus.

Arsenal make two alterations from the XI that drew 2-2 with Wolves last time out. Eze is preferred to Madueke in midfield, while Trossard gets the nod ahead of Martinelli on the left flank.

Arsenal get the match under way from the kick-off!

The North London Derby is back! Arsenal travels to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today with the Premier League title on the line. The Gunners aim to maintain their lead at the top, while Igor Tudor makes his managerial debut for a struggling Spurs side sitting 16th.

Arsenal enters the match at the top of the table with 58 points, but their lead has shrunk to just 2 points after Manchester City’s victory over Newcastle yesterday. Having won only two of their last seven league matches, including a frustrating midweek draw with Wolves, the Gunners are facing serious "title jitters."

Timber receives Zubimendi’s square pass in an advanced position on the right flank and tries to thread the ball through the lines for Eze, but it’s read well and intercepted by Sarr just ahead of the 18-yard box.

Timber receives the ball after an overlapping run beyond Saka and digs out a cross from near the byline that finds Gyokeres at the other end. With space to rise, the striker makes great contact and powers his header towards goal, but it’s blocked and cleared by Dragusin to protect Vicario!

Referee Peter Bankes has brought play to a halt temporarily due to a communications issue, as it appears a piece of the linesman’s technology has stopped working. It’s giving both sets of players an early chance to get a breather, after an eventful opening period.

Saka takes charge of Arsenal’s first corner-kick of the match and sends his inswinging delivery deep towards the far post for an unmarked Gyokeres, who nods the ball unselfishly across the face of goal. Saliba pops up at the right time and prods it towards goal with his head, missing the inside of the far post by inches!

Arsenal are the first one to land a punch and they go ahead in the game. It is Eberechi Eze who scores and puts them forward. Timber lays claim to possession just outside the Tottenham 18-yard box and spreads it out to his right for the unmarked Saka, who takes on Sarr and knocks the ball between the legs of the midfielder to continue his run. After picking his head up, he plays it square from a position near the byline to the penalty spot for Eze. Eze receives the ball from the right side inside the box and the volley off the loose ball finds the net.

Randal Kolo Muani equalises for Tottenham Hotspur just a minute after Arsenal takes the lead. Declan Rice holds possession in the defence and tries to dribble out of the area. Kolo Muani presses and snatches the ball away, drags it and slots it past Raya. Immediate response from Spurs and they are elated.

Eze sweeps first-time pass into the penalty area for Saka, who is once again faced with Sarr, but this time the Tottenham midfielder holds firm and prevents the winger’s progress, eventually blocking his shot. Timber is quick to follow up and latches onto possession before playing it square in a tight area for Trossard, whose swivelled shot takes a deflection before trickling just wide of the far post.

Intense first half comes to an end with things level. The last minute saw Gabriel pulling himself across infront of Randal Kolo Muani and that resulting in them tumbling down and an appeal for foul and red card. Earlier, Arsenal created loads of attack but could score only one and that too got cancelled out due to a mistake from Declan Rice. Things are getting too tight for them and they need to score in the second half to better their chances. Vicario had a good first half as well.

After a bit of a delay due to another failure with the match official’s communication device, Tottenham get the match restarted from the kick-off!

A top start to the half from Arsenal and they are ahead in the game again. Timber plays a low, incisive pass towards the edge of the penalty area. Eze runs across it as a dummy to distract Dragusin, allowing Gyokeres to receive the pass 18 yards from goal and he takes a touch before curling an inch-perfect finish past the diving Vicario. A solid strike from Gyokeres and he brings out his signature celebration.

Arsenal survive as Randal Kolo Muani's goal gets ruled out due to a foul. The referee adjudges that Kolo Muani gave a nudge on Gabriel's back which made him to lose his balance and fall down. Kolo Muani received the ball and slotted the ball in, but the goal didn't stand. Tottenham players fall back after a short argument with the referee.

Arsenal extend the lead as Eberechi Eze scores yet again. His first goal was the first since the last 19 games across all competitions and now he has found two in the game. Wins the ball near the box, taps it to Bukayo Saka and makes the run. Receives the return ball and slots the ball into the empty net. Spurs are trailing big now.

Arsenal keep on attacking as they find space in transition. Eze, Saka, Gyokeres and Trossard all are taking their shy at the goal and Tottenham are totally dependent on luck in terms of defending. First Trossard's right-footed shot curls away from the goal and then Saka's shot misses narrowly. Arsenal are dominating.

Arsenal’s record when scoring first in the Premier League is impressive, with the Gunners winning on 15 of 18 occasions (one loss). Tottenham, on the other hand, have conceded the opener on nine previous occasions, failing to win once (three draws and six losses).

Gyokeres scores again and his confidence is back. Receives the ball in the left half space from Martin Odeegard and then shows his strong hold the ball shoulder to shoulder against a defender. Finally he powerfully drives the ball into the net, completing his brace. Complete dominance from Arsenal and they have put the final nail in the coffin of Tottenham Hotspur.

There is the full-time whistle and Mikel Arteta will be satisfied with the performance. His two players who were inconsistent and struggling for goals have found braces and that too in a big game like this. Arsenal were dominant since the start but in the first half, the attacks didn't result in goals. Eze scored the first but it was soon leveled by Kolo Muani due to an error from Rice. Eze scored yet again in the second half and from there Arsenal never looked back. Gyokeres later added two more and sealed the deal for them. With the win, Arsenal restore their lead at the top of the Premier League points table with a gap of five points with second placed Manchester City.
