PhotoLONDON — Dele Alli and Harry Kane kept Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League title hunt with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday in White Hart Lane’s final North London derby. Chelsea had extended its advantage to 7 points by winning, 3-0, at Everton earlier in the day, but Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs cut the gap back to 4 points with a thrilling display. The two goals arrived within 146 seconds of each other in the second half, with Alli polishing off a rebound and Kane converting a penalty. Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger’s 50th North London derby ended with a fifth defeat in six away games for the Gunners, leaving Arsenal six points out of a Champions League slot in sixth place. Arsenal retains a game in hand on its other rivals, however, and its disappointment was mitigated by the fact top-four rivals Manchester City and Manchester United both dropped points earlier in the day.
