Arsenal defeated Tottenham 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
The win moves the Gunners just four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool who have a game in hand.
Arteta’s men managed to come from behind to beat their bitter rivals.
Heung-min Son had given the visitors a shock lead before a Dominic Solanke own goal and Leandro Trossard strike gave the title challengers a huge win.

During the game, many of the Arsenal players were seen to try to ‘pump up the crowd’ with Gabriel, Odegaard and Myles Lewis-Skelly all gesticulating to get the home fans going.
But, rival fans on social media called out the way Arsenal players carried themselves in the game and branded them ‘Cringe FC’ after their behaviour.

Cringe FC or Dark Arts FC? Let us know in the comments.
Typically Tottenham, crying because they lost against Mighty Arsenal again.
Let them all criticise, moan, belittle, and just generally jump on absolutely anything they can about our great club while ignoring every other club that does the same.
It’s because they are SCARED and JEALOUS.
It’s hilarious to witness it.
More salt Vicar?
