Another outstanding performance by Saliba
This season, Arsenal has had a wonderful introduction with him.

James’ thoughts
Is Conte missing a middleman out there today?

He did this with Chelsea, but he also had Cesc. Nevertheless still struck by Tottenham playing a two in midfield without a Pirlo/Brozovic figure like the trios Conte build with Juventus/Inter/Italy. They could have used another man/profile.

FT: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham
That’s an impressive win for Arsenal over Tottenham. They now have a four point lead at the top of this table, with Manchester City in second place set to face Manchester United tomorrow. Mikel Arteta’s side dominated the afternoon, and Antonio Conte’s Spurs couldn’t even get close to the Gunners.

They could have gone 10 minutes ago. Spurs haven’t done anything since then. Arsenal are dominant.

Arsenal kicking the ball around with ease
76′ Arsenal 3-1 Spurs
They have been the better team from the beginning and they are winning this match. Arsenal are walking around the pitch carrying the ball, while Tottenham look up.

GOAL! Xhaka doubles Spurs’ lead
67′ Arsenal 3-1 Spurs
He was in goal-scoring form all season, and he’s back today! Xhaka nudges it past Lloris effortlessly and that should be enough! Arsenal sit at the top in the Premier League table.

Spurs down to 10 men
61′ Arsenal 2: Spurs
Emerson Royal was sent off to challenge Martinelli. If I’m being honest, I’m not so sure about that one. It looks like a harsh call on the Spurs defender.

THIS WAS NOT A SHORT TERM!
49′ Arsenal 2-1 Spurs
The Gunners take the lead thanks to Gabriel Jesus! Four minutes into the second-half, Jesus pokes it through Lloris for Arsenal’s lead. It’s a terrible mistake by Spurs goalkeeper.

HT: At the break, it’s all up!
Arsenal 1-1 Spurs
It was a great first 45 minutes of action in the North London derby. After all their chances early in the match, Arsenal will feel like they should be ahead at half-time. Spurs were able to dominate the match, and one Son counter-attack caused Arsenal’s defense problems that resulted in Kane scoring the penalty. The second half is anyone’s game, and both managers must think about the next 45 minutes.

100 – Harry Kane is now the Premier League’s first player to score 100 away goals. His seven penalties goals against Arsenal are the joint-most against an opponent. Century. #ARSTOT

Kane cuts it down the middle, and his team is back in it. This is a huge achievement for Spurs that has not come from nowhere.

It’s an amazing counter-attack by Spurs and Gabriel brings Richarlison to the box.
