Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham: Gunners rise to the occasion in north London derby
Arsenal stole the bragging rights in north London with a 2-0 victory over neighbours Tottenham at The Emirates Stadium on Saturday
The defeat was Mauricio Pochettino's first north London derby reverse in the Premier League as Spurs continued to struggle away from home against the other top six teams, having now claimed just three wins from 32 away days against the 'big six'.
Meanwhile, Arsenal - who showed steel as well as style when it mattered - have won their opening six Premier League home games for the first time since 2007.
TEAM NEWS
Arsenal handed a start to Alexandre Lacazette in one of two changes – the other being Shkodran Mustafi replacing Francis Coquelin. Spurs welcomed back Hugo Lloris, Kieran Trippier, Ben Davies, Dele Alli and Moussa Dembele as Mauricio Pochettino made five changes to the team that beat Crystal Palace. Harry Kane passed a fitness test to start.
