Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has praised the attacking performance of his teammates in the north London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur, saying they could have scored 10 goals in the 2-1 triumph.

Declan Rice branded Myles Lewis-Skelly ‘ridiculous’ and ‘scary’ after his impressive performance in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Tottenham on Wednesday evening. Mikel Arteta’s side have closed the gap behind Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points as they came from behind to secure victory in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will be aiming to kickstart their 2025 in a North London derby showdown with Premier League rivals Tottenham on January 15. Mikel Arteta's side were knocked out of the FA Cup over the weekend as the Gunners lost a penalty shootout to 10-man Manchester United at the Emirate Stadium.

Arsenal closed the gap on Premier League leader Liverpool to four points after a 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Wednesday. Mikel Arteta’s team took advantage of Liverpool’s draw with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, with Leandro Trossard firing the winner in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

It might not have been pretty, but three points from Wednesday's North London derby has Arsenal right back on Liverpool's tail.
