LONDON -- Arsenal overcame the absence of key midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard to win the North London derby at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and move into second in the Premier League ahead of next week's clash with leaders Manchester City.

Gabriel's 64th-minute header was enough to seal a 1-0 win against Ange Postecoglou's team, who are now languishing in 13th position after winning just once in four games so far this season.

The Gunners had gone into the game without the suspended Rice and injured Ødegaard at the heart of their midfield, boosting Tottenham's hopes of a first home win against Arsenal since 2022.
