Tottenham PA turns up the volume to drown out Arsenal's celebrations after their win in the north London derby

Tottenham's PA did his best to put a dampener on Arsenal's celebrations following the north London derby on Sunday.

He made sure to turn up the volume as the Gunners made their way over to their away following after they managed to hold off a comeback from Spurs.

Arsenal were able to weather a grandstand finish to move a step closer to a first Premier League title in 20 years with a potentially season-defining 3-2 victory at rivals Tottenham. 

The Gunners held a one-point lead over Manchester City ahead of Sunday’s clash but all eyes were on whether Mikel Arteta’s men could pass this latest stern test and they did to remain at the summit going into May.

A Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg own goal gave Arsenal the perfect start after 15 minutes and not long after Micky van de Ven had seen an effort ruled out for offside, Bukayo Saka made it 2-0.

 Saka’s classy 27th-minute finish after a slick counter-attack put the visitors in cruise control and when Kai Havertz continued his great form with a 13th goal of the season from another set-piece, the Gunners were in dreamland.

Tottenham produced a stirring second-half response, albeit after being given a helping hand by their bitter rivals after goalkeeper David Raya chipped straight to Cristian Romero, who reduced the deficit with 26 minutes left.

When Declan Rice fouled Ben Davies inside the area and Heung-min Son fired home with three minutes left it set up a dramatic finale, but Arsenal held on to claim a crucial win from their 35th league match of the season.

This was arguably the biggest north London derby since Arsenal won the league at White Hart Lane in 2004 and the visitors went into the game on the back of a thumping 5-0 win against Chelsea.

A white-hot atmosphere greeted the Gunners, which they briefly silenced when Havertz fired home after 13 minutes, but it was ruled out for offside.

It had been an even start and yet Arsenal claimed the decisive opener two minutes later.

Saka’s corner to the near post was headed into his own net by the recalled Hojbjerg, who had been battling with Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Tottenham responded with Romero nodding wide from a James Maddison corner before the same duo combined shortly afterwards, but Romero could only crash his header against a post.

Spurs continued to be in the ascendancy and thought they had equalised in the 22nd minute.

Pedro Porro’s deflected effort ballooned into the path of Van de Ven, who smashed the ball past David Raya, but home celebrations were cut short when the Dutch defender was adjudged to be fractionally offside by VAR Jarred Gillett.
