Arsenal continued their Premier League title charge with a high-octane North London Derby victory on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (OG), Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz did the damage.

However, even though The Gunners went 3-0 up against their bitter rivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in nothing short of a rampant opening 45 minutes, they were made to survive a double scare upon the restart with Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min (pen) on target for Tottenham. The game eventually ended 3-2.

Earning north London rights and keeping tabs on reigning champions Manchester City in the process, there was more than enough reason for Arsenal to celebrate at the final whistle. Top-four chasing Tottenham, though, tried their utmost to silence post-match scenes that unfolded inside the stadium.

Arsenal's players headed over to away fans after the game and embraced the noise that was coming from them. However, an opportunity to step in was, seemingly, not passed up by people responsible for the audio system as the music playing — Munich by The Editors — was turned up to drown out celebrations.

A cheeky little message, then, but Arsenal were able to have the last laugh with three points.
