The battle for North London ended goalless
Sunday belonged to the North London derby. The last meeting, held in February, was almost a sacred day for Arsenal. Not only did they crush their city rivals 5–0, but the entire women’s game celebrated – a new attendance record was set at the Emirates. It was also the match in which England’s star Chloe Kelly made her first minutes for the Gunners during her loan spell. Since the summer, she has become a permanent signing.
Although Tottenham hosted the match, Arsenal was expected as favourite. Spurs have managed to beat their North London rivals only once – a narrow 1:0 victory in 2023. Otherwise, Arsenal had taken nine wins and one draw. In their last three meetings, the Gunners hadn’t conceded a single goal to Tottenham. A win today would have been their tenth. But it doesn't happen. Although both teams tried hard, the match ended in a 0:0 draw.
