Arsenal icon Ian Wright was among those who were delighted with the Gunners’ win over Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners pulled off a huge performance against their rivals in the North London Derby to secure all three points.

Gabriel Magalhaes proved to be the key figure in the match as his towering header opened the scoring in the match.

Arsenal, blighted by injuries and suspensions, carried on in resilient fashion to ensure a big win put them just behind Manchester City in the Premier League table.

While that was key, perhaps just as important was the bragging rights that the faithful fans took home as north London officially stayed red.

How Ian Wright celebrated Arsenal goal vs Tottenham

While fans in the stadium went delirious with jubilation, along with the rest of the fanbase across the world, Ian Wright was also joining in with joy.

As seen in a clip from Premier League productions when Gabriel scored, Wright said: “Gabiii, woohoo, yes Gabi.

“Set-pieces again baby, come on. Come on the Gooners, come on the Gooners… we’re back!”

It shows the passion the Arsenal legend has for the side, even when he’s working as a pundit covering the match.

Arsenal’s set-pieces paying dividends

In another close match, it’s Arsenal’s set-pieces that are proving the crucial tie-breaker for the side once again.

Since the introduction of Nicolas Jover to the coaching setup, the Gunners have become imperious from corners and free-kicks.

No defender has scored more goals than Gabriel Magalhaes in the Premier League over the past four years, showing the impact its had on him too.

In moments like the North London Derby, they could prove to be the moments that earn the team some huge points.

Fine margins can win and lose the Premier League title, so more of those fine margins going in the side’s favour will only help them.

With a clash against Manchester City just around the corner expected to be similarly tense, it’s another setting where those set-pieces could be crucial to earning some much-needed points.

With the return of Declan Rice for that much aiding those corners and free-kicks, Arsenal are in better condition heading into the tie.
