Arsenal supporters have celebrated St Totteringham’s Day earlier than ever before, following Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage. The result means Spurs can no longer finish above Arsenal in the Premier League table this season.
Harry Wilson and former Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi scored for Fulham, while Richarlison pulled one back for Spurs in the second half. The defeat leaves Tottenham 32 points adrift of Arsenal with only 30 points remaining this campaign.
The occasion, affectionately known as St Totteringham's Day by Arsenal fans, marks the earliest date it has ever been confirmed. Supporters took to social media to celebrate, with one writing: “Once a Gooner, always a Gooner. Happy St Totteringham's Day Iwobi!” and another adding: “Happy St. Totteringham's Day..”
Arsenal have now finished above their north London rivals in 25 of the 33 Premier League seasons. The largest end-of-season gap between the two clubs remains 45 points, set during Arsenal’s unbeaten 2003/04 title-winning campaign.
