Match report: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham

By Rob Kelly at Emirates Stadium

WHAT HAPPENED

We won the north London derby with a dazzling display of first-half football at a sun-drenched Emirates Stadium to blow Tottenham away on Sunday.

We came into this game off the back of three successive wins, and with confidence returning we immediately stamped our authority on the game.

With Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey snapping into tackles, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired up and making his presence felt, we unsettled the visitors all over the park.

Roared on by an incredible atmosphere inside Emirates Stadium, we took the lead with a goal made in Hale End as Bukayo Saka picked out Emile Smith Rowe in the area and the 21-year-old slotted home to spark jubilant celebrations.
