Arsenal Defeats Tottenham 2-1 in Derby

Following a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the North London derby, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised the performance of 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, calling him 'phenomenal' for his composure and skill on the pitch. The win marked a crucial rebound for Arsenal after recent cup disappointments, and it brought them within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool. However, Arteta acknowledged the need for squad reinforcements due to injuries to key players like Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka, which have left the team short on options. Declan Rice echoed this sentiment, expressing that the team must adapt and that he wouldn't be surprised if a new forward is signed. Despite the injury challenges, Arteta remains optimistic about the team's performance and believes they can continue competing for the title. Arsenal's strong set-piece execution has also been highlighted as a key strength this season.
