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.

Proud boss Mark: Forget miss, we wouldn't be here without Scott
PROUD Fraserburgh boss Mark Cowie can't blame striker Scott Barbour for passing up the moment his Highland League outfit had dreamed of. The 85-1 outsiders knew they were coming to Ibrox with only the slimmest of opportunities to cause an upset. But they might have stood a chance had Barbour taken his big moment just before half-time. Pouncing on a mistake by Gers keeper Mason Munn, the club's record scorer with 270 goals couldn't grab the biggest of his career as he dragged wide.

Jacksons to headline UK summer fest
THE Jacksons are set to return to the UK to headline a music festival. The Motown stars - whose hits include Blame It on the Boogie, I Want You Back and Can You Feel It - will top the bill at Guil- fest on Saturday July 5. Only three members of the original line-up - Jackie, 72, Jermaine, 70, and Marlon, 67 - are still alive after Michael died aged 50 in 2009 and Tito died aged 70 last year. Marlon, Jackie and Tito's son Taryll, 49, will perform at the festival in Guildford, Surrey, which sold out last year when it returned for the first time in a decade. Organiser Tony Scott said: \"It is an absolute priv- ilege to have the legendary Jacksons headlining.\" Razorlight will play the main stage on Sunday.
