Arsenal returned to action in style on Sunday as they continued their recent dominance against Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-0 win in the Premier League. Gabriel Magalhaes’ second-half header was the difference to retain the north London bragging rights.
Mikel Arteta’s men were back to their best in parts. Despite being without Declan Rice due to suspension and Martin Odegaard to injury, Arsenal kept their fierce rivals at bay and looked a threat on the attack.
September presents a hectic schedule for the Gunners and this week, their UEFA Champions League campaign starts against Serie A side and Europa League champions Atalanta.
The Arsenal captain missed the north London derby win after suffering an ankle injury during the international break. Arteta refused to rule him out on Friday but he was left out of the squad altogether.
