Arsenal, on Saturday, inflicted a first defeat of the season on 10-man Tottenham with a 3-1 win in a north London derby.
Arsenal, however, moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League with the win.
Thomas Partey’s stunning, long-range opener in the 20th minute was cancelled out by Harry Kane’s penalty in the 31st minute after Gabriel Magalhaes had fouled Richarlison, but the hosts, dominant for much of the first period, took complete control of the game after the break.

Gabriel Jesus capitalised on a mix-up between Hugo Lloris and Cristian Romero to put Arsenal in front from close range in the 49 minute as Granit Xhaka struck a clinical third in the 67th minute after Emerson Royal had been red carded for a reckless foul on Gabriel Martinelli.
The victory made it seven wins from eight games for Mikel Arteta’s side so far this season, underlining their progress in recent months and giving them a healthy four-point cushion on second-placed Manchester City, who face Manchester United on Sunday.
