at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stewards were called to attend to a supporter seated in the away stands in the 80th minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal&#8217;s medical team helped attend to the supporter, with fans seeming to spot a defibrilator being carried across the pitch as the team made their way to the stand.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pause in play saw an extra 11 minutes added to the tie after normal time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When play resumed, the home side won the clash 1-0 courtesy of a 58th-minute goal from Martha Thomas to mark the first time in the two sides&#8217; history that Tottenham have beaten their north London rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

recover from hip surgery, and the player has found the back of the net seven times in 10 games, making her the WSL&#8217;s joint top scorer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gunners star Vivianne Miedema came on to win her 100th WSL appearance as she gears up her return from a knee injury that ravaged the sharpshooter&#8217;s 2022-23.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time the Dutch international lined up alongside both Beth Mead and Alessia Russo in what is likely Jonas Eidevall&#8217;s preferred front three, the latter arriving this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have a titanic record in their meetings, having won
