The Gunners took full advantage of Manchester City's loss at Manchester United on Saturday with an impressive show of style in the first half and steel after the break to claim a vital three points. Arsenal were simply irresistible in the first half as they outclassed Spurs - the own goal from Lloris and captain Odegaard's strike scant reward for their vast superiority. Keeper Ramsdale was outstanding and his defenders prepared to throw themselves in front of everything to protect the lead. Kane was attempting to equal Jimmy Greaves' record of 266 goals for Spurs, but found Ramsdale at his best. It summed up Spurs' first-half display and they remain in fifth place, five points behind Manchester United in the Champions League places having played a game more.
