But Gabriel’s foul on Richarlison allowed Harry Kane to equalise from the penalty spot.

Arsenal came out flying in the second half, though, and Gabriel Jesus got his first North London derby goal as he pounced on Hugo Lloris’ blunder.

And any hopes Tottenham had of finding a way back into the game were dashed by Emerson Royal’s horror tackle on Gabriel Martinelli resulting in a red card.

Minutes later, Granit Xhaka had the space on North London to blast home the Gunners’ third.

Antonio Conte recognised the game was gone and made four subs at once to try and provide some defensive stability.
