Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal: Player ratings as Gabriel header settles north London derby

FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM - Arsenal secured a third-successive win away at rivals Tottenham with a 1-0 victory on Sunday.

Gabriel came up with the game's only goal to ensure the Gunners began a gauntlet run of fixtures with three points in the Premier League.

The result means Arsenal have now won more games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.

How the game unfolded

David Raya was forced into his first save of the game inside five minutes when Son Heung-min's cutback reached Dejan Kulusevski, who was denied at the near post by the Spanish goalkeeper.

Tottenham were again thwarted by Raya when he leapt across to palm away Kulusevski's cross-cum-shot in the opening exchanges.

Arsenal were looking dangerous in transition. Kai Havertz had the visitors' first chance, rising high to head a cross towards the bottom corner, needing a save from Guglielmo Vicario and a block from Cristian Romero to keep the ball out.

Another opportunity on the break came when Gabriel Martinelli raced away from Pedro Porro, but again Vicario came to Spurs' rescue.

The hosts threatened again as James Maddison dug out a cross to Dominic Solanke, whose header bounced an inch wide of the post.

After the break, Maddison was the creator again for Tottenham as this time his cross from a short corner was flicked on by Micky van de Ven, though this was more comfortable for Raya to deal with.

On 64 minutes, Arsenal went in front. Bukayo Saka's in-swinging corner found Gabriel, who headed in with force.

The visitors set out to frustrate their hosts, who resorted to crossing from deep areas. Solanke notably got on the end of a delivery from Pedro Porro, but it went straight down the throat of Raya.

At the beginning of five minutes of stoppage time, Kulusevski pulled the trigger from 25 yards, only for his fierce strike to fly over the top and into the stands.

That was as close as Tottenham came and Arsenal held on to take the spoils, the points and the bragging rights.
