Our member Derrick Chiam shares his visit to The Arsenal to watch the team take on Tottenham Hotspurs in January 2025.

Watching Arsenal live for the first time was an absolute dream come true!

The atmosphere at the Emirates during the North London Derby against Sp*rs was crazy. From Son scoring and shushing our fans to the poetic justice of Solanke’s own goal from Gabriel’s header—delivered perfectly by Rice—and Trossard’s wonderful strike into the net. The win was a statement and a huge boost to the team, especially after the heartbreak of the penalty shootout loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

It’s been my childhood dream to watch my “first love” in action, and sharing this moment with my partner made it even more special—all thanks to Arsenal Singapore.

I’m already counting down the days until I can watch the Gunners again. COYG!
