In the North London derby on Saturday afternoon, Arsenal defeated 10-man Spurs 3-1 to increase their lead atop the Premier League standings.

The Gunners had a strong start to the first half, and Partey scored the opening goal with a beautiful curling strike into the top corner.

Soon after, however, Kane’s 100th away Premier League goal brought Spurs back into the game from the penalty spot.

Four minutes after the break, Jesus capitalized on Lloris’ error to give Arsenal the lead once more.

Prior to Xhaka sealing the victory for the Mikel Arteta side, Emerson was sent off for an unsportsmanlike challenge on Martinelli.
