The Gunners took the lead in the 20th minute through a superb Thomas Partey long-range strike, but Spurs were handed a way back into the game nine minutes later when Gabriel brought down Richarlison and Harry Kane made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Arsenal came back out after the break full of running and were rewarded for that in the 49th minute as Gabriel Jesus pounced on a Hugo Lloris error.

Tottenham’s hopes of getting back into the game were ruined when Emerson Royal was sent off for a challenge on Gabriel Martinelli just after the hour, and soon afterwards Granit Xhaka wrapped up the points.
