Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal Gunners: Gunners Nightmare Continues

It is becoming increasingly clear that nothing is going to go right for the Gunners this year. They played a solid match in this North London Derby, but in the end they walk away with another disappointing outcome.

This one was a 2-1 defeat to their rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spurs took a 1-0 lead into halftime in this one, but the Gunners came out strong in the second half. Aaron Ramsey knotted things up at one in the 53rd minute. However, the Gunners' fate was sealed when Kyle Walker struck from long range.

Gunners' Nightmare Year

Things got off to a rough start for the Gunners as they said goodbye to Cesc Fabergas and Samir Nasri. The Gunners struggled without their departed stars, but they made some transfer moves to try and solidify their squad.

Those moves did not pay immediate dividends as they were promptly trounced by Manchester United 8-2.

Arsenal had been slowly turning the corner before suffering the 2-1 set back in this match.

Bright Spot for Gunners

The Gunners entered this match winners of three straight. Two of those wins were against weaker opponents in the Carling Cup, but between those wins they had a solid 3-0 win in the EPL against the Bolton Wanderers.

What's Ahead for Gunners

The Gunners will need to bounce back in a hurry if they want to salvage their EPL campaign. Up next for the Gunners is an EPL match with Sunderland on October 16th. They will then face Stoke City on October 23rd.
