Tottenham continues to suffer: Five games without a win in the derby!

In an exciting London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, Arsenal won 2-1 on January 15, 2025. Tottenham, led by Son Heung-Min, took the lead in the 25th minute. But an own goal of Dominic Solanke, who steered a header by Gabriel Magalhaes into his own network, brought Arsenal back into play in the 40th minute. Shortly before half-time, Leandro Trossard scored the crucial goal to 2-1 (44th) after playing by Arsenal captain Martin Ödegaard. This was Trossard's first goal since the end of November, and Arsenal then had some chances to expand the lead, but left it unused. According to a report by vienna.at , Tottenham was only able to meet Pedro Porro shortly before the end and has therefore been victorious for five League games.

The situation is becoming increasingly critical for Tottenham, because the "Spurs" have not won an away derby in the Premier League against Arsenal for 15 years. Arsenal has now reduced the gap to Liverpool to just four points. In another game, Crystal Palace continued his successful run and won 2-0 against Leicester by goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta (52nd) and Marc Guehi (86.), which temporarily passed the record champions Manchester United in the table. Palace has lost only one of her last ten league games and has remained unbeaten in the Premier League since October. This impressive balance ensures that Crystal Palace is now eight points ahead of the relegation ranks, such as nytimes.com reported.
