Arsenal came from behind to beat 10-man Tottenham in a heated north London derby as the Gunners moved ahead of their neighbours and into the Premier League top-four.
A fiery atmosphere inside the Emirates Stadium was echoed on the pitch as quickfire goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Lucas Torreira settled the contest 4-2 in favour of the hosts.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given Arsenal the lead from the penalty spot before drawing them level after an Eric Dier header and a controversial Harry Kane spot-kick had turned the game around.
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen, having conceded the first penalty, was dismissed in the latter stages after picking up a second booking for a foul on Lacazette.
Here, we rate Spurs’ players.
STARTING XI
Hugo Lloris: Beaten four times, but could do nothing about any of them – 6.
Serge Aurier: Conceded a needless free-kick for the Gunners’ opener and did not present an attacking threat – 5.
Jan Vertonghen: Gave away an early penalty and it went downhill from there, ending up with a red card in the final 10 minutes – 4.
Juan Foyth: Thrown in ahead of Toby Alderweireld and looked accomplished until being criminally dispossessed, which led to Arsenal’s decisive third – 5.
Ben Davies: Did not offer Spurs much in attack and Arsenal had plenty of joy down the left – 5.
Eric Dier: Scored Spurs’ equaliser and did well in midfield, but struggled when moved back to central defence – 6.
Moussa Sissoko: Had been Tottenham’s best player in recent weeks, but was noticeably lacklustre at the Emirates and Spurs missed his physicality – 5.
Dele Alli: His most prominent piece of action was getting involved in the fracas that came after Dier’s goal – 5.
Christian Eriksen: Struggled for time on the ball and was not at his best when he got it – 6.
Son Heung-min: Won a controversial penalty and was Spurs’ most threatening player in the first half but faded after the break – 6.
Harry Kane: Scored a penalty but did little else of note in a quiet game – 6.
Substitutes
Lucas Moura (for Son 79): Missed a good headed opportunity – 5.
Harry Winks (for Alli 79): Put himself about but was fighting a losing battle – 5.
Danny Rose (for Davies 82): Had little chance to make an impact – 5.
