What Emerson Royal did when Harry Kane scored to ignite electric Tottenham crowd vs Arsenal

Emerson Royal boosted the atmosphere even further after Harry Kane opened the scoring in the north London derby.

The Brazilian defender had a solid opening 20 minutes before Heung-Min Son was fouled by Cedric and referee Paul Tierney awarded Antonio Conte's side a penalty. Kane stepped up with confidence and tucked the ball away into the bottom right corner to give the hosts a crucial lead early in the game.

Arsenal started the game the stronger side, pressing high up the pitch and unsettling the Spurs defence, but Conte's side stayed resolute and soon took the lead. Royal got in on the celebrations in front of the home crowd as the players huddled in front of the north stand.
