Tottenham's Woes Continue as Arsenal Cruising to Victory
Gunners Dominate North London Derby
Spurs Winless in Arsenal Away Games Since 2010
Tottenham Hotspur's miserable away record against Arsenal continued on Saturday as the Gunners cruised to a 3-1 victory in the North London derby. The result leaves Spurs winless in their last 30 Premier League games at the Emirates Stadium, dating back to 2010.
Arsenal took the lead in the 36th minute through Martin Odegaard, who profited from a mistake by Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Granit Xhaka doubled the Gunners' advantage in the 67th minute, before Richarlison pulled a goal back for Spurs with a penalty in the 79th minute.
However, any hopes of a Tottenham comeback were extinguished in the 82nd minute when Gabriel Jesus restored Arsenal's two-goal lead. The victory sees Arsenal move up to second in the Premier League table, while Tottenham remain in eighth.
Tottenham have now won just one of their last 30 Premier League away games against Arsenal, drawing 11 and losing 18. Their last win at the Emirates Stadium came in November 2010, when they won 3-2.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte was disappointed with his team's performance, but he believes they can still challenge for a top-four finish.
"We have to improve a lot," Conte said. "We have to be more aggressive, we have to be more clinical, and we have to be more organised. But I believe in my players, and I believe that we can still achieve our goals."
