Arsenal stunned Tottenham 2-0 in Saturday's derby at Emirates.
Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez secured the Gunners a dominant 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium in the early kick-off.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger reflected afterwards: "Yes, I think we played with purpose, good concentration, the desire to always be efficient and with great solidarity.
"From the first to last minute the quality of our concentration was very high, we never had a minute where we felt that we dropped a little bit of our focus. Overall it was a very intense game when you look at the physical performance of the two teams. It's absolutely through the roof, so that means the with the distances the players produced, it was an immense performance on both sides.
"I feel we had a very good game at Manchester City and I analysed it very well, it was a very tight game. We had a few away games where our performances were good but, when you lose, people always go to definite conclusions without going further into any analysis and we were not as bad as people said, we have 22 points today. We are a few points short, but if you can analyse the games I can show you why."
