All the best comments and reaction from Arsenal

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang told Sky Sports: "It means the world to us. The fans give us everything. They push us. It's an amazing feeling, just unbelievable. It's quite easy when they [the young players] listen and are ready to learn.

"The most important thing is they improve as they play. They are doing amazing. We are doing a good run. We want to go forward and win games. We are doing well right now."

Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe added to the same channel: "It's probably the best day of my life. To have my family here as well, it's a special feeling."

The happiest Arteta has looked for a while

The Arsenal manager will be hoping that his side can build on this result and performance in recent weeks. The crowd at the Emirates certainly responded in a positive way to their team.

Where's it going wrong for Tottenham?

The Spurs manager said: "It's a tough, tough day for us... Me, personally, we have to make better decisions. I'm being very honest with you." 

On Tottenham fan then added on Twitter: "The squad has been in decline for 2-3 years due to underinvestment, and just a few weeks ago when Nuno was hired, he was 7-8th choice because all the elite managers didn’t want to know."

This fan had a slightly different outlook: "Conte lost 3-0 here in 9/24/2016. He changed to a 3 at the back and won the league. Let’s be honest spurs fans, Nuno isn’t going to get sacked after this match. Lets see what lineup he puts out against villa. But if he doesn’t change his system, he has to go."

Arsenal's 3-1 win over their closest rivals has seen move them up several places in the league. They are now above Tottenham aswell. This is something that would have been unthinkable a few weeks ago.
