Arsenal Defeats Spurs 2-1 to Revive Title Hopes Despite Forward Injuries

Mikel Arteta's side ended a three-game winless streak with a spirited derby victory, but concerns about attacking depth persist after Gabriel Jesus' season-ending injury.

  • Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the London Derby, with goals from Leandro Trossard and a Spurs own goal overturning Son Heung-min's opener.
  • The win provided a much-needed morale boost for Arsenal after a challenging week, including two cup exits and a draw against Brighton in the league.
  • Gabriel Jesus' ACL injury has left Arsenal's forward line stretched thin, with Bukayo Saka also sidelined until at least April and other options struggling for form.
  • Raheem Sterling, signed on loan as cover, failed to impress in his third league start, raising questions about Arsenal's attacking options for the rest of the season.
  • The result keeps Arsenal within four points of league leaders Liverpool, but upcoming fixtures against tougher opponents are expected to test the team's resilience.
