Arsenal 3-1 Spurs

at Ashburton Grove
ARSENAL beat Spurs 3-1 to win the north London derby on Saturday lunchtime to the delight of jubilant home fans. Goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka sealed the victory after Harry Kane had levelled the opener with a spot-kick, after Gabriel Magalhaes had fouled Richarlison.
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners were simply too good for the visitors, who had Emerson Royal sent off in the 62nd minute for a cynical challenge on Gabi Martinelli, with the score at 2-1.
Earlier on a red letter day, Partey opened the scoring with a long-range strike on 20 minutes at a raucous Ashburton Grove, after being fed by Ben White. It must be said the former Brighton defender had an excellent match as right-back, notable in his defensive duties as he was effective in supplementing attacks further forward.
