What were the highlights of Arsenal's 4-1 win over Tottenham?

Unknown 0:00
From 30 for 30 podcasts. Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down.
Julien Laurens 0:14
The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us.
Unknown 0:28
Murder at the U. Listen now.
Julien Laurens 0:35
I'm Gab. He's Jules. Blue skies, sort of, over West London. Jules, we're back. We're back from our holidays.

How did Real Madrid's defeat against Osasuna affect their standings?

Julien Laurens 0:43
Yes, we are entitled. Now that we've officially unionized, we are entitled to at least one show off. Thank you. During the season. Anyway, there is a ton to get into because Real Madrid losing top spot in La Liga. Lons losing top spot in Ligue 1. Bayer nearly throwing it away. But we're going to start with the Premier League because... We have a proper title race. I think it's fair to say. Absolutely. Manchester City winning on Saturday after Arsenal dropped points at midweek against Wolves and the North London derby. And that's where we're going to start because obviously you wanted a reaction. And I was struck by this. You can tell me if I'm off base.

What impact does Eze have on Arsenal's game plan?

Julien Laurens 1:25
Mikel Arteta, when you drop points, which they did in their last two Premier League games, four points dropped, you're tempted, okay, we can either do things differently or do the same things and do them better. It looked to me, while obviously he changed some personnel, I mean, Saka moving back to the wing or whatever, he's like, no, this is our game plan. This is our structure, the 4-2-3-1. I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to bring back Eze. I'm going to have the wingers. I'm not going to mess with Gyokuris. Where are you going to go? We're going to do our thing. We're going to outplay them.
Gab Marcotti 1:57
Yeah, I mean, that's the right thing to do. I think it was pretty logical. That's why everybody expected to.
Julien Laurens 2:03
Odegaard could have started... Sorry, it's logical, but then you look at Pep Guardiola and that's not what he does. That's not what Arteta does.

Why are Spurs struggling this season?

Gab Marcotti 2:08
It's a different manager. No, no, that's what I'm saying. So Arteta, knowing Arteta, you knew that it was going to be like this. The question was more Odegaard or Eze, for example, and I have to be honest, I didn't think Eze would start this game. I had Odegaard starting, I think like everybody else.
Julien Laurens 2:22
Odegaard hasn't started a game in, what, a month?
Gab Marcotti 2:24
Yeah, yeah, but now he was ready and fit to play and I think he could have played more than just the 30 minutes that he had or 20 minutes that he had in the end. But I thought it was probably the right call in the end, all over the pitch from Mikel Arteta. OK, Spurs are a terrible team this season. They are. I don't think Igor Trudeau could have made any miracle between the day he took over and this game. There's too much gap between the two teams, especially with all the injuries, I suppose. But I thought it was an outstanding performance from Arsenal from start to finish. It's a game they should have won 6-0, really.
Julien Laurens 2:56
Yeah, I thought it was very, very accomplished.

What does the introduction of FIFA's cryptocurrency mean for football?

Julien Laurens 3:00
And, you know, normally you can break it down to incidents, incidents that went Arsenal's way, like the David Raya scrambled save on the goal line. You can say that. You can say about the Gabriel and Colomwani to sell out goal, which we'll get to later. But bottom line is, I think Spurs, through the first 60-odd minutes, had only three shots. What I liked about Arsenal, too, is Spurs set out to be defensive and Arsenal said, you know what? Sure, give us the ball. We're not known as a super possession and movement team under Arteta, but we're comfortable enough and confident enough that we can play this way and take the game to you and create chances. From Spurs' perspective... We were talking off air before.
Julien Laurens 3:44
I look at Tudor and I look at the players he have and I looked at the guys who did not come on. He made three substitutions. Matisse Tell making a cameo two minutes from time. The rest of the guys on the bench are people who I couldn't pick out of a police lineup. I genuinely don't know who some of these guys are. I know who they are because I can read their names.
