Arsenal proved resilience pays off in football’s fiercest rivalries, grinding out a 1-0 win against Tottenham in a chaotic North London derby 🌟. Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes became the hero with a thunderous 64th-minute header, sealing victory despite Spurs dominating possession for much of the match.
🔥 \"It’s a big derby – we’re so happy to win here!\" Gabriel shouted to roaring away fans post-game, capping a performance that saw Arsenal weather relentless attacks. Missing key stars like Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, the Gunners relied on grit and David Raya’s clutch saves to stay alive.
💪 Tottenham’s frustrations grew as chances slipped away – Dominic Solanke misfired twice, while Dejan Kulusevski’s last-gasp rocket sailed over the bar. \"We lacked belief in the final third,\" admitted Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou. \"They capitalized on their moment.\"
🏆 The win keeps Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes burning, staying two points behind Manchester City. With a trip to the Etihad looming, this derday grind could be a season-defining moment. 💫
