Summary

Joining Ian Stone this week to discuss the derby victory over Tottenham is Amy Lawrence and Art de Roche.

Spirits are high following Arsenal's slick victory at the weekend, their first at Spurs' ground since 2014 so the panel take a moment to dwell on the little things in the win that particularly pleased. They discuss the star performances of Odegaard, Ramsdale, and Saka but also reflect on what was a sour end to the match.

Transfer wise though it has not been a good weekend as key target Mudryk joined Chelsea after the Blues came in and gazumped Arsenal's offer meaning the club now go back to the drawing board for what's left of the January window.

And we take a moment to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the WSL too
