Tottenham Hotspur's 25th-minute goal gave Spurs hope of a North London derby hope, but the final score line feels as expected as Arsenal won 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium against their historic and injury-hampered rivals.

Goals from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel have turned the north London derby around after Son Heung-min's opener. The Tottenham captain opened the scoring with a deflected effort but it was a set piece that did the business again for Arsenal with the Brazilian heading in from Declan Rice's corner before Trossard finished superby to make it 2-1.
