Mikel Arteta hails 'special day' and heaps praise on Arsenal fans for giving team 'energy and conviction' in win over Tottenham after tough start to season

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left delighted after his side beat Tottenham 3-0 in the north London derby at the Emirates on Sunday.

The Gunners started off on the front foot and they were rewarded in the 12th minute when Emile-Smith Rowe met Bukayo Saka's cross with a low shot past Hugo Lloris.

That was followed up by goals from Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Saka as Arteta's side went into the interval 3-0 up following a breathtaking first-half performance.
