Tottenham vs. Arsenal: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 213

Spurs wins: 67

Draws: 55

Arsenal wins: 91

Counting their inaugural fixtures in the late 19th century, way before they ever clashed in the top tier of English football, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have pitted their wits against each other on 213 occasions, and it is the men in red and white that boast the superior wins tally with 91.

The Gunners' 90th and 91st victories were identical - a pair of 4-1 wins in the 2025-26 Premier League season, across which Eberechi Eze scored a phenomenal five goals and Viktor Gyokeres helped himself to a double.

Mikel Arteta's depleted men also did the double over their bitterest foes in the 2024-25 season, leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a 1-0 win in September 2024 before a 2-1 home success four months down the line.

The latter game saw Arsenal achieve something that they had never previously done in the Premier League era, win three straight top-flight games against Tottenham, who had not suffered that fate since 1989.

A 3-2 victory in April 2024 also belongs in that sequence, as after taking a three-goal lead on rival turf thanks to Spurs' set-piece woes, the Gunners conceded twice late on but nevertheless clung on.

In contrast, Spurs have come up trumps on 67 occasions, while 55 draws have also been played out between the two rivals, including a four-goal Emirates classic in September 2023, where Arsenal led twice but let their advantages slip both times.

The February 2026 win was enough for Arsenal to prolong their unbeaten run against Tottenham to eight matches, having also done the double over Spurs in the 2022-23 campaign, prior to which the Lilywhites' most recent NLD triumph came on home territory towards the end of 2021-22.

While eight of Tottenham's last 10 derbies with Arsenal have ended in defeat, the Lilywhites previously went five unbeaten against the Gunners from December 2018 to December 2020, including two home Premier League wins in the COVID-19 era and an EFL Cup success in the 2018-19 season.

In terms of individual goalscoring records, Harry Kane is still the master of doing that against Arsenal as the 2023-24 Champions League quarter-finals proved, and the England captain is head and shoulders above his colleagues when it comes to NLD goals, netting 14 in the Spurs strip.

The highest outright scorer for Arsenal in this matchup is a revered Frenchman; not Thierry Henry, but Robert Pires with nine efforts, while Emmanuel Adebayor struck eight times for the Gunners before scoring twice for Tottenham after his bold decision to cross the divide.
