Arsenal vs Tottenham games rarely disappoint, but Sunday afternoon gave us another fantastic 90 minutes of entertainment. It has it all: six goals, two penalties, a red card, a mass brawl…
It was the first North London derby for Arsenal’s young French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, who signed for them in the summer from FC Lorient.
