MIKEL ARTETA claimed Arsenal's "emotional" north London derby win proved they are ready to handle the pressure of the title run-in.
And the Gunners boss promised his leaders are "going to have a real go" after surviving a late Spurs fightback to stay a point ahead of Manchester City.
This was nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat torture for Arsenal. But to win the big prizes, you must survive high-pressure moments - even when they are self-inflicted.
Arsenal were 3-0 up at halftime and in control when keeper David Raya's mistake gifted Tottenham a way back before it got tense after VAR gave a penalty against Declan Rice... yet they held on.
At the final whistle, the raucous away end forgot what had gone before as they were too busy celebrating.
And Arteta went straight to Raya to comfort a keeper who has been so reliable and consistent this season.
