ARSENAL fans began their St Totteringham’s Day celebrations early as they forced a first half capitulation at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Gunners took a 3-0 lead over their north London rivals after just 38 minutes – near enough cementing that they would finish above Spurs this season.
Arsenal fans were just as quick to celebrate as their team were to take a dominant lead with champagne on the ready for St Totteringham’s Day.
St Totteringham’s Day is the fictional holiday celebrated by Arsenal fans when they secure a league finish above rivals Tottenham.
And a victory for Mikel Arteta‘s side would mean they go 20 POINTS clear of Tottenham with Ange Postecoglou and Co only having 15 points left to play for in their remaining five games.
Arsenal fans felt the game was over before the second half had even kicked off and took to social media to congratulate their team on cementing a second consecutive finish above their rivals – despite having 45 minutes left to play.
One fan wrote: “St Totteringham’s day pending to those who celebrate.”
While another added: “This is how you bring tears to the streets 
Is it St Totteringham’s Day already?!”
A third commented: “Happy St. Totteringham’s Day to all who observe.”
And a fourth joked: “Celebrating St. Totteringham’s Day at their own ground.”

The Gunners don’t have anything wrapped up until the final whistle blows but they can take confidence from their first half dominance.
It was an own goal from Pierre-Emile Hojburg that opened the scoring for Arsenal before Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz added insult to Tottenham injury.
As well as edging closer to St Totteringham’s Day, Arsenal were able to secure Champions League football for next season as a result of yesterday’s Premier League results before they even kicked a ball this afternoon.
