Tottenham’s struggles continue as they lose 2-1 to Arsenal in the north London derby, leaving them reliant on cup competitions.
London: Tottenham’s rough patch just keeps getting worse. They lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the north London derby, and it’s hard to see a silver lining.
Spurs started strong, taking the lead with a deflected volley from Heung-min Son. But they couldn’t hold on. Arsenal equalized with a corner, and then Leandro Trossard scored the winner just minutes later.
It’s been a tough season for Spurs. They’ve only won one of their last nine league matches, and that was against a struggling Southampton. Now, they’re looking more like a cup team than a league contender.
With just one point from their last five league games, it’s clear they need to turn things around fast. They’re already 13 points behind Chelsea and struggling to keep up.
Next up, they’ll face Everton, but right now, it feels like they’re just trying to survive rather than thrive. Their focus seems to be shifting to the cups, where they still have a chance to make some noise.
On the other hand, Arsenal looked solid, especially their defense. They really put the pressure on Spurs, who just couldn’t keep up. It’s a tough lesson for Tottenham, and they’ll need to regroup quickly.
As for Antonin Kinsky, the young keeper had a rough debut. He showed some promise but also made a couple of mistakes that cost them. It’s a learning curve for him, but he’s got the potential to shake things up.
