Premier League 2018-19: 4 takeaways from Arsenal's 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur

#2 Disappointing night for Pochettino

Pochettino would be disappointed with his team's second half performance

Tottenham produced one of the best performances of the season last week against Chelsea with their four front men - Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min - shredding Chelsea's defense into pieces.

The Spurs fans expected a similar sort of performance from them against an Arsenal side who are in a transitional phase under Unai Emery. But the Gunners came into the game with an 18-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, looking to make it 19 in a row.

Once Arsenal got the lead through Aubameyang, Tottenham hit back immediately - first through Dier and then a penalty converted by Harry Kane. That was the best phase for the Spurs throughout the game.

In the second half, Arsenal were miles ahead and looked more desperate for a win, and that showed in the scoreline.

Mauricio Pochettino would be disappointed with his side's performance today after a convincing victory against Chelsea on the previous matchday.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
