Pape Matar Sarr’s stunning first-half strike ensured Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal 1–0 in the first ever north London derby staged on foreign soil.
Arsenal dominated the early stages in the third and final friendly of their pre-season tour of Asia, but they were fortunate not to fall behind to their bitter foes in Hong Kong. Pedro Porro’s teasing corner crashed directly into the far post as miscommunication in the penalty area almost proved costly for the Gunners.
