Tottenham Spurs 2 - 3 Arsenal

The Gunners had a three-goal lead by half-time thanks to Tottenham's defensive flaws. They had an own-goal from Højbjerg in addition to strikes from Saka and Havertz to thank for the comfortable lead. 

However, Spurs got back into the game when David Raya made a poor clearance, allowing Cristian Romero to score. 

In the closing minutes of the game, Son Heung-min scored from the penalty spot after Declan Rice fouled Ben Davies, causing nerves anxiety among Arsenal fans. In the end, Arsenal held on to their lead and continued to push forward in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Delight among the Arsenal fans

At half-time and despite Tottenham's chances, Arsenal were comfortable. They managed to play through the first 20 minutes of the second half without issues. However, they started to look less calm when Raya appeared to be caught in a moment of indecision leading to the first Spurs goal. 

When Son scored his penalty, Arteta's side must have been worried that they would become the victim of an amazing comeback. Spurs had been a threat going forward throughout the match and sensed they might be able to secure a draw. Despite all that, Arsenal managed to hold on to their lead and secure the win. This left their fans in a fantastic mood

DJ, an Arsenal fan, said "The last 20 minutes wasn't nice, but it was worth it! We understand that losing 3-0 at home was not an option for them. The momentum was in their favor, but I am proud of the team for securing the three points.Despite the chaotic situation, the players managed to remain calm and level-headed. 

"I am proud of all the players. This victory is an enormous achievement for them, and it means everything. We have three more games to go, and we will give it our all."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches.

Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed.
