Arsenal 3-1 Spurs
by Layth Yousif
at Ashburton Grove

ARSENAL overwhelmed and outclassed sorry Spurs 3-1 at Ashburton Grove to prove, once again, that north London is red.

Goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka swamped Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, who managed a late consolation through Son Heung Min.
