Arsenal claim north London derby honours with 3-1 win over Tottenham
Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka shine for Gunners
Tottenham lose third game in a row after conceding three
Arsenal claimed the north London derby honours with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka both scored and assisted for the Gunners, who moved up to fifth in the Premier League table with the win.
Tottenham, meanwhile, slumped to their third consecutive defeat after shipping three goals for the second game in a row.
Arsenal took the lead after just 27 minutes when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pounced on a loose ball in the Tottenham area and fired home.
Smith Rowe doubled the Gunners' advantage seven minutes later, finishing off a fine move involving Saka and Aubameyang.
Saka made it 3-0 just before the hour mark, curling a superb effort into the top corner from the edge of the area.
Tottenham pulled a goal back through Son Heung-min in the 79th minute, but it was too little, too late for the hosts.
Arsenal will now travel to Leeds United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, while Tottenham will host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.
