It would be a North London derby to forget for Arsenal as Tottenham thrashed them 3-0 to close the gap in the race for a top 4 finish. The Gunners were riddled with defensive errors as well as poor judgements, one of which led to Rob Holding being sent off in the 33rd minute.
Harry Kane converted from the spot in the 22nd minute to give Spurs the lead and he later doubled the tally in the 37th minute with a sublime header. Heung-min Son got the third goal just few seconds after the restart to compound Arsenal’s woes.

Kick Off
And we are underway here for the North London Derby! A must win for both sides, who will run away winner?
It’s the biggest north London derby in years as Tottenham host Arsenal in a potentially decisive clash in the race for Champions League football.
The hosts have suffered an injury blow, with Cristian Romero ruled out, while Arsenal will be relieved to have Bukayo Saka available and he starts.
The Gunners make the short trip to face their rivals with a four-point cushion going into the final three games of the season, meaning they will still be in fourth whatever happens tonight.
But Mikel Arteta and his side know that victory would seal a top-four spot and book their return to Europe’s top table for the first time since the 2016/17 season.
I wish Tottenham Hotspur win their game againts Arsenal even though I know it’s going to be though
