Arsenal took advantage of Tottenham's defensive frailties in a north London derby decided by a set piece. The win for Arsenal keeps them close to Manchester City, while raising further questions about Ange Postecoglou's management at Tottenham.
Tottenham have picked up 44 points from their last 32 league games and troubling patterns from last season have carried over to the new campaign
The heady start to last season, in which Spurs took 26 points from their first 10 games under the Australian, feels a long time ago. It was inevitable there would be some sort of regression to the mean but 44 points from their subsequent 32 games is a poor enough record to raise concerns. Extrapolate that over a season and you get 52, which is what West Ham got last season in finishing ninth. For Tottenham, with their expenditure and their stadium, that would be far from acceptable.
“It’s something that we work on along with everything in our game,” he said in May. “There are far more important things that we need to concentrate on at the moment in terms of the team we’re building.” Assistant coach Nick Montgomery was brought in during the summer and while he is not a specific set-piece coach, he does appear to have responsibility for them.
