Johnny Nicholson: Kane to the rescue as Arsenal not punished for off day

Questions must be asked of Erling Haaland. He adds nothing to the team other than goals. If he’s not scoring, he’s doing almost literally nothing and has few touches in a game

Spurs win was big for Arsenal

Harry Kane achieved his goal scoring record and secured another win against Manchester City at home. City haven’t won at Spurs' stadium yet. Spurs were incredibly passive for the first 15 minutes and when they scored they had enjoyed just 22 per cent of possession. They started poorly, as per usual, but grew into the game once it became clear that their opponents were off form.
