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

In a thrilling London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham on January 15, 2025, Arsenal won 2-1. Tottenham, led by Son Heung-min, initially took the lead in the 25th minute. But an own goal from Dominic Solanke, who redirected a header from Gabriel Magalhaes into his own net, brought Arsenal back into the game in the 40th minute. Shortly before half-time, Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal to make it 2-1 (44th) after being played by Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard. This was Trossard's first goal since late November and Arsenal then had a number of chances to extend their lead but missed them. According to a report by vienna.at Tottenham were only able to hit the bar through Pedro Porro shortly before the end and have therefore remained winless for five league games.

The situation is becoming increasingly critical for Tottenham, as the “Spurs” have not won an away derby in the Premier League against Arsenal in 15 years. Arsenal have now reduced the gap to Liverpool to just four points. In another game, Crystal Palace continued their successful run and won 2-0 against Leicester with goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta (52nd) and Marc Guehi (86th), which meant they temporarily moved past record champions Manchester United in the table. Palace have lost just one of their last ten league games and remain unbeaten in the Premier League away from home since October. This impressive record means Crystal Palace are now eight points clear of the relegation zone nytimes.com reported.
