托特纳姆热刺 2-3 阿森纳：我们注意到的五件事

周日，在另一场北伦敦德比经典赛之后，我们有很多值得反思的地方，因为我们以五分之差击败了热刺。 以下是这场比赛的五个谈话要点： 一场利润微薄的比赛这是一场很难归类的比赛。半场结束时我们以 3-0 领先，但感觉双方之间的差距并不大——这种感觉得到了数据的支持。在开场 45 分钟内，主队享受了比对手多一倍多的时间我们的控球率（72% 控球率）更高，预期总进球数更高（0.85 比 0.7），并且我们的四次射门中有八次射门。但我们在关键时刻表现得很无情。上半场中段，经过VAR审查后，托特纳姆热刺扳平比分被判越位，五分钟内我们将比分改写为2-0。从潜在的 1-1 平开始，我们就领先两球。我们的第二个进球也发生在热刺点球上诉被驳回的同一回合中。热刺在上半场也击中了门柱，但哈弗茨在整场比赛中仅第二次射门就攻入了我们的第三个进球。 随后托特纳姆热刺队从大卫·拉亚（David Raya）的失误中获利——他在上半场的大部分时间里都选择长时间传球——随后VAR再次介入，判给主队迟到的点球。从那时起，我们就面临着压力最后十分钟左右——包括伤停补时——但我们立场坚定。拉亚（Raya）出色地夺回了每一次进入禁区的传中，最终我们没有再遇到射正的机会。最后的庆祝活动无疑让人们松了口气。萨卡在主客场均取得进球布卡约·萨卡成为自 2019/20 赛季亚历山大·拉卡泽特以来第一位在单一赛季在北伦敦德比中进球的阿森纳球员，自 1993/94 赛季伊恩·赖特 (Ian Wright) 以来，这是第一位做到这一点的英国人。他的进球是禁区内左脚的标志性绝妙射门。当凯·哈弗茨（Kai Havertz）长传找到他时，他在反击中拥有数英亩的空间，然后他扭转过本·戴维斯（Ben Davies），在找到底角之前转移到他更强的脚上。这是他本赛季的第 15 个英超进球– 他迄今为止最多产的一个赛季 – 以及他在所有比赛中的第 33 个进球（他没有助攻乌龙球）。这也是布卡约为我们职业生涯打进的第 57 个进球，成为我们队中第 42 位最佳射手。随着他在名单上的上升，与马尔科姆·麦克唐纳和塞斯克·法布雷加斯齐名。“我真的很喜欢那个进球，”他事后微笑道。 “作为阿森纳球员，在主客场进球真是太好了，我们喜欢这场比赛。我很兴奋。”作为首发阵容中唯一的本土球员，他对这场本地德比的命运拥有巨大的发言权是很合适的。米克尔获得 100 分这是米克尔·阿尔特塔作为我们球队的第 100 场胜利从他执教的第169场比赛开始，他的胜率达到了59.2%。这是英超时代任何阿森纳主帅中获胜率最高的，他现在是我们历史上第八位达到百年联赛胜利的主教练——他比阿尔塞纳·温格快了 10 场比赛。他的第一场胜利于 2020 年 1 月 1 日回归，这 100 场胜利中有 5 场是对阵托特纳姆热刺 – 他只在对阵西汉姆联、纽卡斯尔、切尔西和狼队的比赛中取得了更多胜利。主教练的完整英超战绩现在是 P169 W100 D27 L42 F321 A180 –并以场均 1.93 分拿下 327 分。最重要的是，这是我们本赛季的第 25 场联赛胜利，仅比上赛季少一场，还剩下三场比赛。回到定位球状态我们的第一个和第三个进球两人都来自角球 - 凯·哈弗茨 (Kai Havertz) 接德克兰·赖斯 (Declan Rice) 的传球头球破门，这是我们本赛季联赛中的第 16 个角球进球，这是自 2016/17 赛季西布罗姆维奇 (West Bromwich Albion) 以来所有球队中进球最多的球队。这也是我们在联赛中的第 17 个头球进球– 另一项俱乐部纪录。这让我们能够在这场比赛中取得有史以来第二快的三球领先优势。比赛还剩 38 分钟时，哈弗茨头球破门。这对我们整个赛季来说都是一个巨大的武器，在经历了几个没有定位球的进球后，他们在托特纳姆热刺球场再次证明了至关重要。特殊的一天这场胜利也确保了我们本赛季再次领先托特纳姆热刺，这是英超时代第 24 次。这一天在球迷中被称为圣托特林汉姆节，永远是值得庆祝的一天，而且在这一天到来时，还剩下三场比赛。当地的吹嘘权利保证了又一年的胜利，从数学上来说，这场胜利也确保了明年的冠军联赛资格季节。在剩下的比赛中，我们还有更大的目标需要实现——主场对阵伯恩茅斯，客场对阵曼联，然后主场对阵埃弗顿。 这是自 1988 年 9 月以来我们第一次在联赛客场对阵热刺取得连续胜利。双方之间的第 195 次交锋将永远留在人们的记忆中，并且在下个月颁发荣誉时可能具有决定性作用。

North London derby wins are always cherished, but our first back-to-back successes at Tottenham since 1988 will certainly live long in the memory.Adrian Clarke has cast his expert eye over our 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur to find out why we were successful this time around, as we continued our push for the Premier League title.Havertz the heroKai Havertz equalled Alexis Sanchez’s record of providing a goal and an assist in four different Premier League matches in a campaign, a landmark set by the Chilean in 2016/17, but remarkably, our on-song No. 29 has achieved that feat across his last 13 appearances alone.His inch-perfect cross-field pass to release Bukayo Saka for our second goal on the counter-attack was sublime in its execution, and the winger's fabulous finish completed a perfect breakaway.Aside from scoring our third goal with a header from Declan Rice’s corner (his only attempt of the game) the German’s all-round performance was top-class.Always an outlet for David Raya and the defenders to hit with a longer pass that missed out Tottenham’s press, Havertz worked hard to show for the ball throughout. His hold-up play was excellent, helping us gain territory at key moments.As shown on this chalkboard (below) our centre forward contributed four vital clearances from inside his own six-yard box (shown by the triangles), as well as linking play in three distinct parts of the pitch. Dropping back to help us play out from the back when needed, he also stretched Spurs by showing for the ball on both wings, holding onto the ball until teammates could get up to support him.Defending our boxOur well-disciplined 4-4-2 shape out of possession was hard for the hosts to break down, so they resorted to whipping hopeful crosses into the box from wide areas. It was the highest number of crosses we have faced during the entire campaign, with the bulk from open play arriving from Spurs’ right-hand side. Raya is confident at coming out to collect hanging balls, and he did so flawlessly on numerous occasions.Our defensive players also showed incredible resilience. Forced into making 19 headed clearances (our most of the season, by four) the likes of Ben White (6), William Saliba (4), Gabriel (4), Havertz (4) and Rice (3) held firm.The game state from 65 minutes onwards, after Cristian Romero was gifted a goal out of nowhere, saw the Gunners withstand a lot of territorial pressure, yet under that duress we stood tall, repelling a series of dangerous balls sent into our box.Arsenal clearances v SpursSet-piece masteryTwo wonderful corner kick deliveries from Saka and Rice provided crucial goals, and it is worth breaking down the routine we produced for Havertz’s matchwinner, from an accurate Rice inswinger.As we so often do, we stationed most of our attackers at the far post, with Havertz and Gabriel man-marked. Escaping their close attention would be key, and the way they managed it was simple, but also smart in the extreme.Here is the initial setup with Havertz and Dejan Kulusevski circled in yellow, and Gabriel circled in green:The Brazilian triggered the runs by darting through a gap closer to the goalline, taking his marker with him. Havertz simultaneously arcs his run around the outside as the pair cross over, and this causes Kulusevski to collide with Tottenham’s own zonal markers in the process:Our striker gets a two-yard advantage, looping his run around the stationary zonal defenders to head home unopposed. Meanwhile, Kulusevski was left stranded (circled) a long way from the player he was supposed to mark:It was another fabulous routine that means we have now scored 16 goals from corners this season. Not since Tony Pulis’ West Bromwich Albion in 2016 has a Premier League team found the back of the net with as many.Saka shinesSaka delivered another memorable performance against our north London rivals, scoring a great goal and being heavily involved throughout. It felt as if we tactically targeted his duel with Ben Davies as an avenue where we would enjoy success, and this proved to be the case as he constantly ran at the Welshman. It is not often you see a winger receive the most touches of the ball, but that was the case here.As you can see clearly on this attacking thirds chalkboard, we focused most of our attacking attention on getting Saka into 1v1s against Tottenham’s stand-in left-back:Recovering our composureWe found ourselves 3-0 up without ever settling into a rhythm on the ball, only having a 28.5 per cent share of possession during the first half.Mikel Arteta’s message at the break was clear. He wanted his players to manage the game by asserting better control of possession, keeping the ball patiently and making the home side chase it. This plan worked brilliantly for 20 minutes as we toyed with Tottenham, completing over 90 per cent of our passes, and keeping the distribution short and sharp:Raya’s loose pass to Romero for Spurs’ first goal changed the dynamic, with Ange Postecoglou’s side hugely reinvigorated from that point onwards. Forced onto the back foot, and with a busy recent schedule also sapping energy levels, we found it harder to counter with the sort of speed that was required.This position made for a nervy spell, exacerbated by Son Heung-Min’s late penalty, but satisfyingly the team showed great courage, resolve and togetherness to see the job through and record a fabulous, but hard-earned, three-point haul.
