Arsenal vs Tottenham winners and losers - Granit Xhaka shines as Emerson Royal sees red

Arsenal registered a memorable victory over North London neighbours Tottenham Hotspur as Mikel Artea's side ran out 3-1 winners at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners took the lead courtesy of Thomas Partey's wondergoal inside the opening 20 minutes, but just minutes later Harry Kane got his trademark derby day goal from the penalty spot after Gabriel Magalhaes fouled Richarlison. Honours were even at the interval, with both managers able to take some shoots of optimism from the display.

Yet the second-half saw the game swing entirely in Arsenal's favour, as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka either side of Emerson Royal's foolish red-card ensured the Gunners would come away with all three points and resign Spurs to their first defeat of the season.
