LONDON -- There is no easy way to analyse Arsenal. They are never good or bad, just dazzling or awful. Such have been the extremes of performance that Arsene Wenger's players have produced in recent seasons, it is not difficult to pitch them as sublime or ridiculous, depending on the result.
Consistency is a word rarely used to describe Wenger's team, but Saturday's 2-0 victory against Tottenham in the North London derby highlighted the fact that Arsenal have now discovered some.
This was their 11th successive home Premier League victory -- a record since moving to the Emirates in 2006 -- and it enabled Arsenal to keep Spurs waiting even longer for their first win at the stadium since November 2010.
