Arsenal Maintain Title Push with 2-0 Win Over Tottenham

A Solid Performance and a Touch of Fortune

Victory Keeps Gunners Eight Points Clear of Manchester City

Premier League leaders Arsenal overcame a second-half scare to secure a crucial 2-0 victory over bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, extending their lead at the top of the table to eight points.

The Gunners started the match brightly and took the lead in the 14th minute when Hugo Lloris fumbled Bukayo Saka's cross into his own net. Arsenal doubled their advantage in the 36th minute through Martin Odegaard, who curled a stunning effort into the top corner.

Tottenham dominated possession in the second half, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances. Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale made several important saves to preserve the clean sheet, while the Gunners defense stood firm to deny Tottenham's attacking threats.

The win sees Arsenal maintain their eight-point lead over Manchester City, who they face in a crucial top-of-the-table clash next week. The Gunners will host Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, April 30, in a match that could potentially decide the title race.
