Tottenham Hotspur endured another difficult evening, suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat at Arsenal. At the Emirates Stadium, the visitors appeared helpless and failed to find rhythm from the start. Arsenal controlled the game, created opportunities, and deservedly earned three points. For Spurs, the wait for a league victory at their rival’s ground has continued since 2010.
Coach Thomas Frank admitted after the match that his team’s performance fell far below expectations. The defense looked uncertain and the midfield failed to maintain possession. The only bright moment was Richarlison’s goal, which briefly eased the disappointment of the fans. Goalkeeper Vicario made several good saves, but his distribution often ended up with the opponent.
Arsenal, on the other hand, showed why it is among the league’s top contenders. Its combination play, quick transitions, and aggressive pressing caused major problems for Tottenham. The home side capitalized on every mistake and secured a clear result with four goals. In the closing stages, Spurs only tried to avoid an even heavier defeat.
This result once again raised questions about the direction Tottenham is heading. The team appears to lack confidence and a clear playing identity. Supporters expect a response in the next match against Fulham, where determination and a desire to restore reputation after the derby loss will be essential.
With this victory, Arsenal strengthened its position near the top of the table and confirmed its ambition to compete for the title this season. Tottenham, meanwhile, continues to search for its lost form and the trust of its fans.
