Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Ramsdale denies Spurs

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal: Mikel Arteta’s Gunners move eight points clear at top of table with victory over Spurs

I love the North London Derby - Arteta

Arsenal moved eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table after securing their first away win in the north London derby since 2014. The Gunners started quickly and piled pressure on Antonio Conte’s Tottenham who are notoriously slow starters.

Bukayo Saka proved a dangerous threat on the right wing and gave Arsenal the lead when Hugo Lloris fumbled a fizzing cross over his own goal line. Mikel Arteta’s men continued to attack and after a couple of sighters Martin Odegaard sank one from range, beating Lloris with a low driving shot to the far bottom corner.

Spurs responded after the break with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Ryan Sessegnon coming close but all getting denied by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. Arsenal then settled the game down and cruised to victory in a sedate last 10 minutes.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

87 mins: The set pieces keep coming for Tottenham. Son is gifted the chance to shoot from another free kick - this one over on the left, just outside the box - but he smokes his low effort into the wall.

Kulusevski’s recycled ball comes into the box but Ramsdale commandingly plucks it out of the air.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

84 mins: Chance! It almost came down to the old pairing of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Kane is played down the right side of the pitch and gets into the box before pulling the ball back ot Son.

Son takes a touch and shoots but a slight deflection takes the ball over the crossbar and out for a corner.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

78 mins: Danger! Arsenal have another free kick, this one is one the edge of the ‘D’ with Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka both interested in it.

Odegaard jumps over the dead ball in a dummy before Xhaka smokes his shot high and wide.

Kieran Tierney comes on now to replace Gabriel Martinelli.

75 mins: More changes happening for Spurs now. Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perisic are both introduced to replace Pape Sarr and Ryan Sessegnon.

15 minutes to play in this derby and Arsenal are in control. Tottenham have shown signs of a comeback but it’s not materialised yet.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

72 mins: Antonio Conte goes to the bench first and brings Richarlison on to replace Matt Doherty. That substitution also means a change in shape with Spurs going to a back four to give them more options up top.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

69 mins: Chance! Granit Xhaka goes on a great run through the middle of the pitch and curls the ball into the feet of Eddie Nketiah who’s making his way into the box.

He touches it to the right then blasts a shot at goal that Hugo Lloris charges down!

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

66 mins: Tottenham are flinging men up the pitch in an attempt to keep Arsenal penned in. It doesn’t work though as Kulusevski loses the ball allowing Partey to whip the ball over to Odegaard.

Spurs only have Romero back to defend but Odegaard can’t get the ball under control and by the time he does he’s swarmed by backtracking white shirts.

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal

63 mins: Arsenal seem to have gotten through that period of dominance from Spurs. The visitors are seeing more of the ball and are trying to slow down play.
