Spurs star admits that Arsenal were the better team

Micky van de Ven conceded that Arsenal were the superior side as the Gunners secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Tottenham in the league this evening. Spurs had approached the match with optimism, hoping their manager’s tactical preparation would enable them to claim a positive result. However, Arsenal’s overall quality and consistency this season ultimately proved decisive.

Although the Gunners had experienced a dip in form prior to this fixture, their broader campaign has been impressive. Consecutive underwhelming results had offered Tottenham encouragement, raising the possibility that they could capitalise. Spurs competed with determination, particularly during the first half, yet the gap in class became increasingly evident as the contest progressed.

Arsenal Assert Their Authority

At 1-1 in the opening period, the match appeared finely balanced. However, Arsenal struck shortly after the restart, a moment that significantly altered the momentum. From that point, Tottenham found it increasingly difficult to contain their opponents’ attacking threat.

The disparity between the two sides is reflected in the league standings. Arsenal have produced one of their strongest seasons in recent years and are firmly focused on their ambition of lifting the title. By contrast, Tottenham have struggled for consistency, and their shortcomings were exposed in this encounter.
