Sunday (March 1st) marked the earliest celebration of 'Saint Tottingham Day' in history. This day is named so because it signifies when Tottenham Hotspur are mathematically guaranteed to finish behind Arsenal, making it impossible for them to overtake them by the end of the season. The event was triggered by Tottenham's 32-point deficit to Arsenal before the match between the two rivals. On Sunday, Arsenal fans celebrated their team's strengthening lead in the Premier League after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. However, on the same day, their neighbours Tottenham suffered a 1-2 loss at home to Fulham. This meant that Sunday was officially 'Saint Tottingham Day' for them. This occasion broke the previous record for the earliest such celebration, which had been March 9th.
