Arsenal Seal Earliest St Totteringham’s Day After Spurs Lose at Fulham

The result underlines Spurs’ relegation peril under interim Igor Tudor, contrasting with Arsenal’s title pursuit.

Overview

  • Tottenham fell 2-1 at Fulham on March 1, with Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi scoring before Richarlison’s reply, confirming Arsenal will finish above Spurs.
  • Spurs can now reach a maximum of 59 points while Arsenal already have 61 with 10 games left, making it mathematically impossible for Tottenham to catch them.
  • This marks the earliest St Totteringham’s Day of the Premier League era, beating the previous record of March 9, 2008.
  • Arsenal will finish above Tottenham for the 26th time in 34 Premier League seasons as Spurs sit just four points clear of the drop after replacing Thomas Frank with Igor Tudor, who has called the fight a “life and death” battle.
  • Points-per-game projections reported in coverage suggest Arsenal could finish on 83 points to Spurs’ 41, a potential 42-point gap that would trail only the 45-point margin from 2003-04.
