Tottenham 2-1 Arsenal: Jose Mourinho masterclass earns north London derby spoils

Jose Mourinho tasted victory in his first north London derby as Tottenham came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 on Sunday.

Toby Alderweireld's 81st-minute header claimed a vital three points for Spurs' European push in their first encounter with their rivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Alexandre Lacazette's venomous drive had given Arsenal an early lead but the Gunners' defensive frailties came back to haunt them as Sead Kolasinac's error gifted Heung-Min Son the equaliser three minutes later.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rattled the post as Arsenal turned up opportunities to restore their lead before Alderweireld's strike, but Spurs found a way as Mourinho extended his unbeaten Premier League home record against the Gunners to 10 matches with another vintage tactical display.

The victory lifts Spurs above Arsenal into eight in the table, while Arsenal drop to ninth, two points adrift of their rivals with three games remaining.

It took Spurs just 30 seconds to register an effort on goal, something they failed to do in 90 minutes against Bournemouth, as Lucas Moura's drive forced a diving save from Emiliano Martinez. บาคาร่า

The Arsenal goalkeeper was called into action on 11 minutes, launching himself high into the air to Harry Kane putting Spurs ahead with a lofted finish.

Kane's opposite number Aubameyang spurned a glorious chance to hand Arsenal the lead when he swiped at thin air while attempting to convert Hector Bellerin's centre, but the anguish was momentary thanks to Lacazette, who rammed a thunderbolt past Hugo Lloris into the top corner as the Gunners struck first.

Spurs' response to the setback was rapid, but they were given a helping hand by a loose Sead Kolasinac pass that left David Luiz helpless and allowed Son to race in on goal and cancel Arsenal's advantage within three minutes with a chipped finish over Martinez.

Spurs grew in confidence after restoring parity but found Martinez in inspired form as the Gunners stopper smothered Kane's low shot before tipping a stunning Ben Davies drive from 25 yards onto the crossbar.

Aubameyang whipped a free-kick wide of goal and Nicolas Pepe drew Lloris into a save as Arsenal built momentum before the break, momentum they carried into the second half as the Gunners dominated possession as Spurs sat deep.

Shkodran Mustafi's ambitious overhead kick was comfortably saved by Lloris but the Spurs goalkeeper could only watch as Aubameyang's near-post drive rattled the angle of post and bar shortly before the hour.

Having kept Spurs at arm's length for the duration of the second half, Arsenal almost gifted the hosts the lead as Mustafi's over-commitment while challenging Kane left the centre-back on the turf, but Martinez bailed him out with a smothering save at the feet of Son before he could convert Kane's centre.
