Former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes Arsenal’s superb defending in their match against Tottenham makes their victory well-deserved.
The Gunners have kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season and had not conceded a goal in six consecutive away games.
However, that record was always going to face a tougher test in the North London derby against Tottenham, as the Lilywhites are one of the most attacking teams in the Premier League.
It was a game Arsenal could have lost, and everyone knew it, but Mikel Arteta’s men did well and emerged victorious.
They raced to a 3-0 lead at half-time, but Spurs threatened to get back in the game and scored twice in the second half.
If the Gunners had not been brilliant at the back, they could have conceded more goals, especially during added time.
But they did their job well and ensured none of the Tottenham attacks breached their defense to result in an equalising goal.
Mark Schwarzer was impressed and said on the BBC:
“Arsenal defended really well and they probably deserve the result.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have had to defend well for much of this season and probably needed to do that more in this game.
Our players were fantastic, and we hope they win all our remaining games as well.
Our Players were indeed Superb today.
Kai Havertz is my MOTM.😊
He was Immense in today’s match and makes me Feel we don’t need Gabriel Jesus in the team anymore.🙁
We DEFINITELY DONT need JESUS ANYMORE
.Hope he andZinny both leave us this summer.
No not so fast he’s still a top player that contributes a lot without actually scoring
Jesus can be used on either wing and Zinny can be used in his proper position, in midfield.
Thankfully you’re not the manager !
I agree . Glad MA is our manager though. I notice that neither of them are picked much, now when games are becoming so vital that we dont drop ANY points in the run in.
Perhaps you have failed to notice that!!!
Nope, seen it when the teams are announced 🙄. We should keep them, along with signing a couple of players, so that they can be used when the need arises !!
What a stupid quote. It’s like that poor Neville fella, who said Tottenham were the better team in the first half – a half Arsenal won 3-0! It’s unbelieveble. Noone expects brainwork from ex football players. Footballers don’t read, they have never learned how to develop thinking, but this is ridiculous! The blindness of Mr Neville must be about hating Arsenal. Hating the capital city, and the fact that the capital city is RED. Has been for almost 100 years.
The Gunners scored first and got the game where they wanted it. Then they let Spurs have the ball, and trashed them with counter attacks. Perfect gameplan. Perfectly performed. And football is about scoring goals. The team that score the most goals is the better team. That team win the matches. It’s that simple. Football is simple!
Am in agreement with the post above, as it relates to the Big German as the man of the match.
That Hollywood pass to Saka eliminating the entire Spuds midfield for the second goal was sublime,
The disjointed Blues, surely must be wondering where they went wrong.
We made two mistakes that led too goals. It was our goalscoring that won this game.
