Twitter reacts after Arsenal beat Tottenham 2-0 in the North London derby

Arsenal vs Spurs highlights — Arsenal beat Spurs 2-0 with two first-half goals

Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League to give Gunners fans a result to remember. Arsene Wenger's side were not clear favourites going into this game with most pundits picking Spurs to get a favourable result.

Spurs had been undefeated against their north London rivals for six games in the Premier League but it was Mauricio Pochettino's side that looked likely to lose this game as Arsenal took control.

Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez in the first half sealed all three points and the Gunners are now just one point behind Spurs. Mesut Ozil also put in a shift to remember and walked away with the Man of the Match award.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the game.

Wenger has built a squad with some great players in it. Why don’t we perform like that every week? Well, #directoroffootballinthedugout

Arsenal have won 20 and lost just one of their last 24 Premier League games at the Emirates. The Gunners have won the last 11 in a row on home soil - their longest winning streak since November 2005.

Mesut Ozil, the World Cup winner and 5 time German player of the year who got into none of the combined North London XIs, goes off to a standing ovation.

God of the match: Mesut Ozil

Kane didn't get subbed off. He's just in Koscielny's back pocket.

Easy to see where Spurs' game-plan has went wrong today, when you look at their heat map. pic.twitter.com/vl0MeVpNtK

Mesut Ozil has run 12km this afternoon - or 3.6% of the way to Manchester

Have to admit, after the City game I would've been tempted not to start Özil today. Yet he has put in a significantly improved performance and has a case for MOTM. Deserves a lot of praise. #YaMesutYa pic.twitter.com/WpmrWOcADy
