Premier League pundits: Arsenal deserved all three points in 2-1 defeat of Tottenham

Premier League pundits Tim Sherwood and Aarom Ramsey believe Arsenal were the better side at the Emirates on Wednesday evening and deserved the three points in their 2-1 defeat of Tottenham Hotspur in the thrilling north London derby.

Tottenham scored first via Son Heung-Min on eight minutes to give the visitors the lead. It was the South Korean’s eight Premier League goals against Arsenal with only by former Spurs teammate Harry Kane (14) ever netting more in North London derbies in the competition.

The Gunners responded via a Dominic Solanke own goal before in the 40th minute before Leandro Trossard put the Gunners ahead four minutes later.

The win means Arsenal have done the Premier League double over Tottenham for a fifth time (twice under Mikel Arteta and three times under Arsène Wenger) and have also won three consecutive league games against Tottenham for the first time ever in the competition.

Tim Sherwood, former Premier League manager and now a pundit believes Arsenal did enough to win the game.

“I thought Maddison did alright, but Spurs failed to create many chances and you can’t frame it any other way than Arsenal deserved to win that one. They’re miles away from Tottenham. Spurs need some help in the transfer market, at the moment it’s really not good for them,’ he told Premier League productions.

Former Arsenal player and now a Premier League pundit, Aaron Ramsey, says it was a massive win for the Gunners.

“It’s massive. Having seen Liverpool drop points last night it was important for Arsenal to pick up points, and it was the perfect game for them to respond. They controlled the game, Spurs didn’t really have many chances and Arsenal can be well pleased with their work tonight,’ said Ramsey who scored 40 goals and provided 47 assists in 262 Premier League games for Arsenal.
