Arsenal's great start to the new Premier League season continued on Saturday as they eased past Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium. Goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka were enough to help the Gunners on their way to a 3-1 victory, a win that means they stay top of the table for another week at least.
Mikel Arteta's team started quickly and after a dominant first 20 minutes, Partey curled a beautifully weighted effort from outside the box into the top corner. Arsenal failed to go into the break with the lead, though, as Gabriel Magalhaes tripped Richarlison in the box to award Spurs a penalty with just over half an hour played. Superstar forward Harry Kane made no mistake from 12 yards to level proceedings.
But the Gunners came out of the blocks quickly in the second-half and quickly restored their lead. In the 49th minute, Hugo Lloris failed to parry Bukayo Saka's shot away from the danger area and Jesus pounced on the rebound to make it 2-1 to the home side.
