Aurier's Tottenham Hotspur can seal North London superiority vs Arsenal

Whisper it, but have Tottenham Hotspur overtaken Arsenal as the dominant force in North London for good?

A lot has changed since the previous season concluded, where Mikel Arteta’s prospects looked bright as he won the club a record 14th FA Cup title. The upshot of that win over Chelsea at Wembley meant the Gunners qualified for European football for this season.

Failure to achieve that in a pandemic-hit world would have slowed down the Spaniard’s rebuild of the side and frankly, they needed the money from European football, even if it didn't come from the Champions League.
