On July 31, 2025, a preseason match took place in Gonki between the London superclubs Arsenal and Tottenham. This game became the first Northern London derby to take place outside of Great Britain.
The match ended with Tottenham's victory with a score of 1-0 thanks to an impressive goal by Pape Sarr, who scored from the middle of the field in the 45th minute. Sarr intercepted the ball in the midfield of Mailsa Lyuisa-Skelli and sent it into the net, outmaneuvering Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya.
Before this moment, Arsenal failed to convert several chances: the team twice hit the goal post of the super goalkeeper, and Richarlison had the opportunity to score from close range. In the second half, the game was tense, with several fouls and yellow cards.
New Arsenal signing Viktor Hojkeres made his debut in the match, coming onto the field in the 77th minute, but did not manage to significantly influence the game.
This match concluded Arsenal's preseason tour in Asia, while Tottenham will continue their appearances next week against Newcastle in Southern Korea.
