The Corriere dello Sport notes Arteta came off “un inizio da incubo” but was “reduce da due vittorie consecutive,” and that it was “proprio i Gunners, più in forma, a rendersi subito pericolosi” in the match that ended 3-1.

The article emphasises that Arteta’s side continued its winning run and matched Tottenham on nine points in the table.

Goals timeline

The scoring sequence came early and decisively: Leandro Trossard/Rowe opened the scoring in the 12th minute from a Saka assist, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled the lead in the 27th minute, and Bukayo Saka finished the move at 34 minutes after exploiting a turnover by Harry Kane to make it 3-0 before half-time.

Corriere dello Sport lays out the timeline by naming the 12', 27' and 34' goals and highlights Saka’s role in both the assist for the opener and the third goal.

Tottenham response

Tottenham’s response was limited and came late: the article describes a “timida reazione” from Spurs, who only reduced the deficit through Son Heung-min’s 79th-minute goal, but that strike proved insufficient as Arsenal held on to the win.

Corriere dello Sport frames the result as a continuation of Arsenal’s momentum under Arteta while Tottenham were left to rue their slow start and inability to overturn the early damage.

Other match

The same match report also briefly notes other Premier League action on the day: Wolves beat Southampton 1-0 courtesy of Raúl Jiménez’s 61st-minute goal, lifting Wolves to six points while Southampton remain near the relegation zone on four points.
