Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are 'STILL in the title race' and says victory over north London rivals Tottenham was a 'gift' to fans - as Gunners close the gap on Liverpool to four points

Arsenal kept their title dream alive on Wednesday night with a nervy North London Derby win over arch-rivals Tottenham.

Leandro Trossard’s second-half goal courtesy of some weak goalkeeping from Antonin Kinsky provided the Gunners with a crucial victory as Mikel Arteta’s team reduced Liverpool’s lead at summit to four points.

Arsenal came from behind after Heung-min Son’s deflected effort gave Spurs the lead before Dominic Solanke’s own goal saw the home side pull level ahead and Arteta.

‘We are still in the title race, there’s so much to play for but we can see how difficult it is for every team to win,’ said Arteta.
