What Ben Davies did for Tottenham that Rob Holding failed to do for Arsenal

The North London Derby didn't disappoint, from Tottenham's perspective, as Harry Kane's brace and Son Heung-min's goal helped Spurs win 3-0. Arsenal's evening went from bad to worse and after a decent start, as they gave a penalty away before going down to 10 men.

Antonio Conte's side had been ready to play the fixture when it was originally scheduled in January, but a request from the Gunners camp saw the match postponed. Spurs suffered a late blow to Cristian Romero and it was Davinson Sanchez who was given the nod to step in, but that didn't stop the Lilywhites from securing all three points against their north London rivals.

The Lilywhites now sit just a point behind Mikel Arteta's side, going into the final couple of games of the season. On paper, Tottenham arguably have the more favourable fixtures, but they need Arsenal to drop points to get themselves back inside the top four.
