Tottenham Hotspur had some initiative at the beginning of the game, they showed a good aggression at the beginning of the game, for Arsenal, now they also need to stand on the defensive side of the game, if you want to win this game, then Arsenal must not take it lightly in defence, because Tottenham Hotspur's attacking power is really good.

In the 10th minute, Van der Vaart crossed from the right and Defoe headed high. Three minutes later, Alexander Song made a mistake in the backfield and Bam Adebayo cut the ball straight in, and Parker's one-handed shot from a tight angle was blocked by Szczesny.

Arsenal's goal was constantly attacked by Tottenham in the first fifteen minutes of the game, although their attack did not pose much threat, but the opening of the game allowed Tottenham Hotspur to take the initiative, which is really not something to be happy about; It's a north London derby and Arsenal don't just need to win the game, they have to dominate the game. Because it's a north London derby, against a bitter rival, Arsenal can't afford to fall behind in any way, they can't be inferior to Tottenham in any aspect of the game!

The Gunners are going to start working, they can't let Tottenham dominate the game like this, Arsenal can't let Tottenham play their rhythm; The best option for the Gunners is naturally to attack, and when Arsenal plays their own attack, Tottenham's unbridled attack will definitely be limited a lot; The Gunners need to play with the best momentum in the game and they need a win in this game.

Arsenal began to rise up in attack, first with Arteta's free-kick into the box. Van Persie headed the ball off the line with his back to goal. Subsequently. Walcott crosses the ball from the right. Xiao Qing's goalmouth shot was slightly wide of the far corner post. Arsenal's current game form is also a little better, and at this time, Arsenal also began to put some pressure on Tottenham with their attack.

The atmosphere in the White Hart Lane stadium began to burn, although the two teams played a good offensive battle at this time, but this game is more needed for the two teams to win the game; Although they were a good threat on the offensive end, their defense was also under a lot of pressure. So at this time, the fans of both teams are a little worried, because once they concede the first goal in the game, then the trend of this crucial north London derby may also be completely changed, which is something that no team can accept.

Twenty-second minute of the game. Bale broke the ball in midfield and drove straight into the cross, Van der Vaart grabbed the point and shot high; Although Van der Vaart's shot was high, Bale's performance sent the White Hart Lane stadium into a boil, and the Arsenal players also felt a lot of pressure; The speed of the terrifying wide player is astonishing, and his speed on the ball is difficult for even almost all players to catch up with without the ball, which is not a small blow for Arsenal's players; Bale's hot wheel-like sprint made Arsenal worry that if Bale was allowed to continue to play like this, the pressure on Arsenal would definitely increase several times.

The Gunners need to be fearful now, they need to be careful of Tottenham's impact; Tottenham are not an easy team to beat, and Arsenal are not so easily intimidated. At this time, in order to win this game, the two teams also launched a more fierce competition.

Twenty-fifth minute of the game. Arteta shoots wide from a free-kick from a tight angle on the left. In the 28th minute, Xiao Qing made a direct long-range shot in front of the penalty area. Tottenham goalkeeper Friedel got the ball in with ease. In the 30th minute, Cazorla's long pass was brought down by Van der Vaart, and the referee showed the latter a yellow card.

The two teams also played some fire at this time, and the smell of gunpowder in the game became stronger and stronger; In such a north London derby, there can only be one winner, and the players of both teams will also have to work harder for the game at this time.

In the 35th of the game, Defoe crossed a low ball from the right side, and Van der Vaart's clever shot in front was heroically cleared by Szczesny. In the 38th minute, Van Persie made an inverted triangle return pass on the left side, and Xiao Qing continued to suppress Tottenham's defense with the ball and then suddenly knocked horizontally; Unfortunately, the outflanked Aaron Ramsey missed a great chance to break the deadlock in the face of an almost empty goal. In the 42nd minute, Defoe was brought down by a tackle in front of the penalty area to break through Mertesacker, and the Arsenal defender also received a yellow card.

The first half of the game looked like a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, and they both created some good chances in the game, so it looked good because both teams were determined in attack and the pace of the game was good. The north London derby is certainly spectacular, not just because of the feud between the two teams, but also because of the strong desire to win on the pitch.

The first half was likely to end like this, but there is no reason for fans of both teams to be dissatisfied, as both teams are still in good form as they are still in good form in this game and they are able to threaten the opposition goal. The second half of the game will certainly be a decisive stage for both teams, because the first half of the game was only a fierce attack without finding a goal, and maybe they will adjust a little bit at half-time.

Fans of both teams may think that the first half of the game is going to pass like this, but for the players on the field they are not willing to relax for a moment, although the first half of the game is running out, but for the players, they still can't relax, they still need to continue to fight for goals in the game, they still need to continue to hold on to the last few minutes!

In the final moments of the first half, Arsenal played a delicate combination in the penalty area; First, Arteta took the ball to the penalty area and made a short pass, and Xiao Qing, who was the central axis, made a beautiful direct diagonal to the right side; Van Persie also completed a pass after taking the ball, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly blocked the small penalty area again, because he knew that Xiao Qing would definitely rush over.

Sure enough, Xiao Qing had already started an accelerated sprint when he was distributing the ball, Xiao Qing shook off the defenders and directly faced the goalkeeper of Tottenham; Xiao Qing, who received the pass, violently changed the direction of the ball, and Tottenham goalkeeper Fridel was also completely deceived by Xiao Qing's feints. However, Xiao Qing did not shoot directly, not because the pursuers behind him had arrived, but because Van Persie Cazorla had quickly inserted diagonally in front of the goal. With just a simple flick of the ball, Cazorla easily pushed the ball into the open goal, and Arsenal took the lead at White Hart Lane!

Although it only occupied a small part of the stands at White Hart Lane, the Arsenal fans erupted in crazy cheers at this moment; Arsenal fans often don't seem to be passionate, but it's also time-sharing, when they win the championship, when they win the game on the stadium of the sworn enemy, the enthusiasm of the Gunners fans is still very hot, they are now cheering wildly for Arsenal's goal, they are happy to see the Tottenham players suffer defeat, they like to show off in front of the White Lily fans.

1-0, although this score does not guarantee that Arsenal have won the game, but the current Arsenal players can proudly announce that they have completely dominated this north London derby, and they have a great chance of continuing to suppress Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby. The best team in north London will always be Arsenal, and it is possible that Tottenham will want to perform even better, for example, to qualify for the Champions League. But in north London, the only team that comes to mind is Arsenal, and the strongest team here can only be Arsenal!

With a 1-0 scoreline, the Arsenal players returned to the visiting dressing room; The Arsenal players were largely satisfied in the first half, playing with good attacking quality and defending well in this game. Then the second half of the game will be easy for Arsenal, they need to keep up the good work, with a one-goal lead in hand, Arsenal have more initiative.

The Gunners were confident of a win and believed that the second half would not give Tottenham any chance to fight back. It will be a victory for Arsenal and the Gunners will continue to push on all fronts. The Gunners began to chase points like crazy, and they began to push higher in the table.

The Arsenal players returned to the pitch again, but at half-time it looked like the fans of both teams erupted into a lot of unpleasantness; Xiao Qing really doesn't care about these things, what he needs to do now is to help the team win the game, what Xiao Qing needs to do is to help Arsenal try to score as many goals as possible in the second half of the game.

The smell of gunpowder in the White Hart Lane stadium is very strong, but Xiao Qing really doesn't care about this, and the Arsenal players don't care about it either; The smell of gunpowder in the derby has always been strong, and there is no need to be rare or strange.

The Gunners took a 1-0 lead in the first half and they took the initiative in this derby; Then the task of the Gunners now is very simple, whether it is to continue to attack or strengthen the defense, the initiative of the game is now completely in the hands of Arsenal! (To be continued......)
