In a tense North London Derby, Arsenal secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur on September 15, 2024. The highly anticipated clash saw the Gunners break the deadlock through a set-piece, with Gabriel Magalhães heading in the match-winning goal. His dominance in the air continues to be a key asset for Arsenal, bringing his tally of Premier League-headed goals to 10, placing him among Arsenal’s top aerial threats.
The match was defined by high intensity, with both sides pushing hard for dominance. Arsenal’s defense, led by William Saliba and Gabriel, successfully neutralized Spurs’ attacking efforts. Despite flashes of brilliance, Tottenham failed to capitalize on their opportunities, with Arsenal’s defensive unit standing firm throughout the 90 minutes.
This victory is a significant morale boost for Mikel Arteta’s side as they prepare for a tough stretch, including a Champions League tie against Atalanta and a Premier League clash against reigning champions Manchester City next weekend.
