The defeat in this game has made Tottenham face an even more serious challenge in the next Premier League journey.
From the start of the game, Arsenal showed great attacking power. In the first half, Bukayo Saka opened the scoring and then converted Hojbjerg's own goal. Kai Havertz has made a great pass, scoring three goals in the last two games. Tottenham's defensive performance was clearly underwhelming, allowing Arsenal to take the lead comfortably.
Heading into the second half, Tottenham gradually found their form in attack. Raya's mistake gifted, Rice sent a point, Romero and Son Heung-min scored twice in a row, and once gave Tottenham hope of equalising. However, Arsenal held their ground at crucial moments and built up a first-half advantage to win 3-2 away at Tottenham.
The defeat in this game has affected Tottenham's position in the standings. At present, Arsenal lead by four points with two games in hand, while Tottenham Hotspur is fifth, seven points behind the top four with two games in hand. It was undoubtedly a heavy blow for Tottenham. They will need to adjust their form as soon as possible in the upcoming games to try to catch up in the standings.
Tottenham will face Manchester City and Liverpool next, and these two games will be particularly important. Manchester City and Liverpool are both top teams in the Premier League, and their quality should not be underestimated.
