The worst week of Mikel Arteta’s season so far ends with the best possible result, which was a home win over Tottenham Hotspur. That was admittedly half a Tottenham Hotspur, given the injuries that Ange Postecoglou has suffered might make even Arteta sympathise.

Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday night to move to within four points of the top of the Premier League. The hosts dominated the early exchanges, but Spurs scored with one of their first opportunities of the match. A deflected Son Heung-min strike went past goalkeeper David Raya to give the visitors the lead.
