Bukayo Saka said Arsenal have learnt from their failed title tilt last season after the Gunners held on to beat battling local rivals Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 away on April 28.
The result saw Arsenal move four points clear at the top of the English Premier League after an emphatic first-half display and a nervous second period in an electric derby atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Champions Manchester City can narrow that gap back to one point with a game in hand if they beat Nottingham Forest in the late game - the result of which was not available at press time.
An own goal by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and efforts from Saka and Kai Havertz put the Gunners in control at half-time and although Spurs fought back through Cristian Romero's strike and a Son Heungmin penalty, the visitors claimed the three points.
It meant Arsenal have won consecutive top-flight away matches against Spurs for the first time since September 1988.
Saka told Sky Sports: "The last 20 minutes wasn't nice, but it was worth it. We know it is a big derby and they don't want to lose 3-0 at home.
