Soccer Football - Premier League - Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain - April 28, 2024 Arsenal's Bukayo Saka celebrates after the match REUTERS/Dylan MartinezLONDON : Arsenal's Bukayo Saka described a nerve-racking last 20 minutes as his team hung on for a vital 3-2 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to stay ahead in the Premier League title race with three games left.

Arsenal moved them four points clear of Manchester City who were playing the first of their two games in hand later on Sunday at struggling Nottingham Forest. "We know it's a big derby and they don't want to lose 3-0 at home so once they got one the crowd was up and the momentum shifted their way.Arsenal had not conceded an away goal in the league since Jan. 30 but keeper David Raya's mistake allowed Christian Romero to score in the 64th minute before Son Heung-min's penalty set up a frantic finale.

Despite Arsenal's late wobble, Saka said they were a far more robust side than last season when they faltered in the run-in to the title under pressure from City.
