Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side beat Tottenham 2-1 last night.
The North London Derby never fails to disappoint for entertainment.
The home side had started the game well pinning back their rivals in the own half but somewhat surprisingly it was Spurs who took the lead.
Heung Min-Son put the visitors ahead with a stunning volley after the ball fell to him on the edge of the box from a corner.

The Gunners managed to turn the game around before half-time though.
The equaliser was controversial to say the least after Arsenal were awarded a corner despite the last touch appearing to come from Leandro Trossard.

Declan Rice’s deep ball was headed in from Gabriel via a big deflection from Dominic Solanke and it was ruled as an own goal.
Spurs fans were aggrieved that the corner was given and flocked to social media to moan.
One said: ‘PGMOL needs to be investigated.’
Another added:’They needed the referee to get something from the game. Shame.’
A third replied: ‘State of officiating in the league gets worse every week.’
Arsenal completed the turnaround when Thomas Partey robbed Yves Bissouma and got the home side moving through Ødegaard, who went left to Trossard who fired home from distance.
That didn't take long!

It was a much needed win for Arsenal who move four points behind Liverpool who have a game in hand.
