LONDON -- Arsenal found a way. Sunday's 3-2 win at bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur came through a combination of hard work, quality and a little luck, but Mikel Arteta's side earned the victory they needed to keep Manchester City honest during the Premier League title run-in.

The Gunners are determined to avoid a repeat of last season when they ran out of steam in the final weeks of the campaign. A cavalier team willing to take on all comers anywhere, anytime lacked the adaptability to negotiate the pressure of playing when the prize is in sight.
