This was a powerful statement in a dramatic north London derby by an Arsenal side in no mood to surrender their leadership of the Premier League - and certainly not to their neighbours. Instead they extended their lead at the top of the table to four points over Manchester City, who play their own derby tomorrow.

Thomas Partey put the Gunners ahead after 20 minutes with a spectacular strike. Harry Kane equalised 11 minutes later from a penalty, his 14th goal in 16 Premier League appearances against the Gunners. But Arsenal kept their nerve and belief and top scorer Gabriel Jesus restored their lead after an error by Spurs captain and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. A reckless challenge by Emerson Royal reduced Tottenham to ten men shortly before man of the match Granit Xhaka made it 3-1.
