Bodo/Glimt, perhaps surprisingly, dominated the opening half-hour and were rewarded with a penalty when Rodrigo Bentancur lunged into a terrible challenge in the area. Kasper Hogh, up front for the Norwegian team, took one of the worst penalties perhaps ever seen in Norway, as he managed to balloon his effort well over the bar - his second penalty miss in two games.

At half-time, Thomas Frank, astonishingly, made no changes, and Bodo had the lead within 10 minutes, as Jens Petter Hauge found his way into the penalty area, shimmied, and finished brilliantly beyond Guglielmo Vicario.

Spurs, though, thought they were level after 60 seconds; a free-kick from Pedro Porro on the left wing hit the post as it evaded all defenders, and Rodrigo Bentancur turned the ball home. However, a VAR review showed a foul by Micky van de Ven in the build-up, and the equaliser was ruled out.

Spurs' sense of injustice only deepened as Hauge added a second in the 66th minute, once again taking advantage of lax Spurs defending to work an opening and score from range.

Micky van de Ven pulled a goal back two minutes later with a very good header after a fine Pedro Porro cross, with Tottenham suddenly emboldened to chase a comeback, and Wilson Odobert hit the crossbar late on, as did Andreas Helmerson in a helter-skelter final period.

But it was Richarlison who found the net, as Bodo goalkeeper Nikita Khaikin could only parry Archie Gray's shot against the Brazilian, with the ball rolling over the line. A lengthy VAR check followed but the goal was allowed to stand.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is set to tie down star midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur to a new deal. The Uruguay international's current contract expires in the summer of 2026 and Spurs are not willing to let him leave for free next season. Bentancur has made a bright start to the season under new boss Frank and has started in four out of their first six Premier League matches.

Tottenham have rejected Romania's bid to call up injured defender Radu Dragusin national team for their fixtures next month. Dragusin sustained an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear during an Europa League match in January and has not played competitive football since then. Romania are scheduled to face Moldova in a friendly match, before taking on Austria in a World Cup qualifier.

For Arsenal and Tottenham supporters, nothing gets the blood pumping and the nerves jangling like a North London Derby. Both sides are hoping to push on during this campaign, and a victory against their arch-rivals always boosts morale within the team and amongst the faithful who follow them.

Arsenal will host the first North London derby clash this season (November 22), with The Gunners heading to the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium later in the season on February 21, 2026. The Gunners have promised so much recently, and despite being there or thereabouts over the last few campaigns, frustratingly for their fans, they continue to hit the bar - metaphorically speaking - in their search for silverware.

The Arsenal faithful continue to keep the faith and continue flocking through the turnstiles. Miguel Arteta’s men have been knocking on the door recently, finishing 2nd in the table in each of the last three seasons. They also came close to ending their silverware drought in general last term, when reaching the semi-final stage of both the Champions League and the League Cup.

As of 1909, when the first competitive North London derby took place, the current head-to-head tally stands at: 84 wins for Arsenal, 61 wins for Tottenham and 52 drawn matches.

With the addition of high-calibre players, such as Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke, to strengthen an ever-improving squad, Arsenal fans will be confident their side can progress further this season, and they’ll be desperate to get their hands on tickets, especially when Tottenham visit the Emirates this November.

You won’t want to miss one of the most anticipated encounters of the whole Premier League season. Let GOAL give you all the vital information you need ahead of the North London derby, including how to buy tickets and how much they cost.

Emirates Stadium is located in Holloway, London. It’s been Arsenal’s home ground since 2006 and has a capacity of approximately 60,000, making it the 6th largest football stadium in England. Emirates bought naming rights for the stadium, in a 15-year deal estimated at £100 million that also included shirt sponsorship. Both deals have now been extended through until at least 2028.

Aside from sporting uses, the Emirates has been used as a music venue. In 2008, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became the first band to play a concert at the stadium. Coldplay and The Killers also played sold-out concerts at the Emirates in subsequent years.

How to buy Arsenal vs Tottenham Premier League tickets

Buying Arsenal tickets directly from the club is notoriously difficult, as they rarely ever go on sale to non-members. Arsenal switched to a ballot system in 2022, so there is no traditional sales period in which tickets can sell out quickly.

Members have to enter a ballot, which opens around 6-8 weeks before a match and remains open for around 4 days, if hoping to purchase Arsenal match tickets. These are almost always over-subscribed, so it is a lottery with low odds.

During the 2024/25 season, the average success rate for ordinary Red Members in the ballots was just 9% (and this fell to 7% for the North London derby).

As a rule, Arsenal Premier League tickets do not go on general sale. Demand is simply too high, and all matches sell out in the ballots.

Only home EFL Cup tickets, which tend to be the least popular of any competition Arsenal play in, may go on sale to non-members.

While the official portal is the safest way for supporters to purchase Arsenal tickets, those looking to attend a match may wish to consider secondary resale sites such as StubHub and Ticombo, which could give you the best opportunity of obtaining tickets.

What to know about Arsenal vs Tottenham: North London Derby

For Tottenham, the 2024/25 campaign proved to be one of the funniest/strangest seasons in the history of the club.

The loyal fans rode a rollercoaster of emotions for nearly ten months, experiencing both crushing lows and outstanding highs. Astonishingly, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League standings last season, the club’s worst finish in the top-flight since being relegated from the old First Division in 1977.

Any other season and the fans would have been howling with disapproval and baying for blood. However, four days after the EPL season ended, they were lifting the UEFA Europa League aloft in Bilbao following a 1-0 triumph over Manchester United.

Tottenham's Aussie manager, Ange Postecoglou, had been the mastermind behind the club picking up its first major trophy since the League Cup success in 2008 and its first European crown for over 40 years.

To cap off an unbelievable Spurs season, there would be another final twist, as Postecoglou was told to pack his bags. Success and silverware didn't save him, and in came Thomas Frank from Brentford to take over the reins.

The balance of power may have swung to and fro over the years, but it’s the Gunners who have ruled the roost recently. Mikel Arteta’s men finished 36 points above Tottenham last season and have won their last three matches in a row against their city rivals. You have to go back to 2005 for the last time Arsenal bettered that streak.

Son Heung-min's blistering start to life in Major League Soccer continues to turn heads after the former Tottenham star scored twice in LAFC's 3-0 win over St. Louis CITY, taking his tally to eight goals in as many matches. Spurs fans are now lamenting the club's decision to sell the South Korean icon too early, insisting he looks reborn in Los Angeles.

Tottenham have rejected an expression of interest in a takeover from a United States consortium, headed up by Brooklyn Earick, but the former DJ has posted a cryptic Instagram update hinting at a countdown to becoming owner of the north London club. Reports suggest the bid for the club is worth £4.5 billion ($6bn).

Daniel Levy discovered his Tottenham Hotspur sacking on the day it was announced, per a new report from The Athletic. The long-serving powerbroker in north London was shockingly removed from his position on September 4, and the new report suggests he had no idea he was about to be axed from a position he had held since 2001.

Tottenham are reportedly the subject of a world-record £4.5 billion ($6bn) takeover bid, with the interested consortium being fronted by former DJ and NASA employee Brooklyn Earick. He is said to form part of a 12-person group that are prepared to table a historic bid for the Premier League outfit. Questions continue to be asked, however, of whether Spurs are actually for sale.
