Manager Arsène Wenger has admitted that his side were not at their best against North London rivals Tottenham.
Arsenal were finding it difficult to break down the Spurs defence in the first half and even allowed them back into the game after taking the lead, before narrowly winning the match 2-1.
Wenger said: "It was a very difficult victory and we were not at our best.
"Spurs were the sharper ones and the better team in the first half.
"What was important for us was three points against a side that has improved tremendously in recent weeks.
"We prefer to be where we are in the table and will have a happy Christmas."
