The comfort of being home.
There were no ‘away’ victories in the highlighted derby matches that were scheduled for November 18, 2017.
A goalless draw in the ‘Madrid Derby’ saw Real Madrid become the only ‘away’ side to get a point and avoid conceding a goal as well.
Arsenal rose to the occasion and defeated a Tottenham side that was coming to the ‘North London Derby’ as favorites. A dominant performance allowed Arsenal to pick up a victory that trimmed the league table point gap between themselves and Tottenham down to a point. In the ‘Rome Derby’, Roma scored two second-half goals to open a two point-gap between themselves and Lazio.
