Arsenal’s Reign: Top of Both Premier League and Champions League
Bornheimer – Arsenal have firmly established themselves as one of Europe’s most formidable teams this season. In a remarkable display of form, the North London side clinched two crucial victories within a week—one in the Premier League and the other in the UEFA Champions League. These wins have propelled them to the summit of both competitions as of late November 2025.
Under the leadership of Mikel Arteta, the Gunners showcased tactical discipline and attacking brilliance, defeating local rivals Tottenham Hotspur and European powerhouse Bayern Munich in back-to-back home fixtures at Emirates Stadium.
Commanding Derby Victory Against Tottenham
Arsenal sent a powerful message in the Premier League by thrashing archrivals Tottenham Hotspur 4–1 on November 23, 2025, during the North London Derby. The emphatic win not only solidified their place at the top of the league but also delighted home fans with a performance full of intensity and clinical finishing.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 36th minute, before Eberechi Eze stole the spotlight with a historic hat-trick. Eze’s goals came at the 41st minute, immediately after the break, and again in the 76th minute. His hat-trick marked the first by an Arsenal player in a Premier League-era North London Derby. Tottenham’s sole response came through Richarlison, but it was too little, too late.

This result earned Arsenal a vital three points and extended their lead in the league table, reinforcing their title credentials.
Statement Win Over Bayern Munich in Champions League
Just days later, Arsenal carried their domestic dominance into Europe with a 3–1 win against Bayern Munich on November 26, 2025. The Champions League group stage match, also played at the Emirates, saw goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli.
This victory was more than just another group-stage triumph—it symbolized redemption. Arsenal had previously suffered a humiliating 10–2 aggregate defeat to Bayern back in 2017. Their current success illustrates how far the team has progressed under Arteta’s management.
Even more impressively, Arsenal have maintained a perfect record in the Champions League this season—five wins in five matches—scoring 14 goals and conceding only once.
Arsenal’s Dual Domination in Premier League and Europe
Following their stellar performances, Arsenal sit at the top of the Premier League table with 29 points from 12 matches. Their record includes nine wins, two draws, and just one defeat. Currently, they lead second-place Chelsea by six points, creating a comfortable cushion as they look to maintain consistency during the busy winter schedule.
In the Champions League, Arsenal have been equally dominant. They top the group phase with 15 points and are the only side in their group to win all their matches. Their attacking efficiency and defensive solidity have made them a serious contender for European silverware.
Arsenal Set the Tone for the Season Ahead
Arsenal’s current form is a testament to their squad depth, tactical flexibility, and the strong leadership of Mikel Arteta. With key players performing at their peak and squad harmony at an all-time high, the club appears well-positioned for a memorable season.
As they look ahead to the knockout stages of the Champions League and the grueling Premier League title race, Arsenal’s supporters have every reason to believe that this could be their year.
