Arsenal claimed a huge victory on Saturday over North London rivals Tottenham with a 3-1 win to claim all three points. While the usual bragging rights were up for grabs, a good start from both teams meant that the points were vital too if either were to make a push for the title.
The Gunners made a quick start and were given the lead from Thomas Partey's strike from outside the box that curled past Hugo Lloris. The game swung on its head ten minutes later though as Gabriel caught Richarlison in the box, with Harry Kane then finishing from the penalty spot.
The second half had a flurry of action, but it was all Arsenal as Gabriel Jesus picked up a loose ball in the box to take the lead just before the visitors were reduced to ten men from Emerson Royal's high challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. The points seemed sewn up just minutes later as Granit Xhaka scored a third with a curling effort at the end of a well-worked move.
