In truth, to argue anything else would have been delusion. Spurs enjoyed 56 per cent possession over the 90 minutes and unleashed 23 shots at their bitter rivals who, perhaps too enamoured by the discipline that yielded a stunning away win over #MCFC, Manchester City earlier this month, simply sat back and waited for the fightback to arrive after Mesut Ozil’s classy first-half opener.
Three deserved points saw #Tottenham leapfrog #Arsenal in fourth with 14 Premier League matches to go, but #Wenger would not allow his candour to be mistaken for defeatism in the race for #ChampionsLeague qualification.
Ozil has hit the ground running since his return, scoring in three successive matches for the first time in his career, while #Alexis has shone with his tireless work-rate and keen eye for goal. On paper the skill sets of the two men complement each other perfectly.It’s time to recover from that disappointment and prepare for the next game now,the Frenchman said. It will be a battle until the end. It has been every year with Spurs.”
