Arsenal earned a familiar win against Tottenham Spurs to end their rivals’ unbeaten start to the Premier League season and remain top of the table.
The Emirates Stadium erupts when Anthony Taylor closed the curtains of the game that ended 3-1in Arsenal’s favor over Spurs.
Second-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka fired Premier League leaders Arsenal to yet another win over 10-man Tottenham in an entertaining North London derby on Saturday.
Arsenal were rewarded for a bright start when Thomas Partey produced a stunning long-range finish after 20 minutes, but Harry Kane swiftly levelled with a penalty.
Mikel Arteta’s side were excellent throughout, barring a nervy spell at the end of the first half when they gifted Spurs a goal via the penalty spot.
The impressive Gunners hit the front again when Jesus bundled home following Hugo Lloris’ mistake, and Tottenham’s hopes of a comeback were dashed when Emerson Royal was sent off in the 62nd minute.
Xhaka then drilled into the bottom-right corner as Mikel Arteta’s rampant side moved four points clear of Manchester City and consigned their fierce rivals to a first Premier League defeat of the season.
This was a game billed as being too tight to call by many but, in the end, Arsenal proved far too good for their neighbors at a cauldron-like Emirates Stadium.
