Arsenal are dominating the ‘North London Derby’ with fantastic set pieces.

Arsenal is playing an away match against Tottenham in the 35th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 28th (Korean time). It is a rivalry match with Tottenham, which is also based in North London.

Arsenal scored the first goal in the 15th minute of the first half. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was lucky enough to score an own goal during a corner kick.

Arsenal took a two-point lead with an additional goal from Bukayo Saka in the 27th minute of the first half. In a counterattack situation, Saka received a pass from Kai Havertz and calmly struck the net with a left-footed shot in front of the goal.

In the 38th minute of the first half, another set piece was scored. Havertz neatly headed Declan Rice’s kick to score the team’s third goal.

Tottenham, who were outgunned by three goals, launched a counterattack. In the 44th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min, who received an infiltration pass from Pedro Foro, faced a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, but his shot missed the goal by a long way and he swallowed his disappointment.
