Tottenham Hotspur secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Arsenal yesterday, boosting their chances of playing in Europe next season as a result.
The visitors opened the scoring through Alexander Lacazette in the 16th minute, but their lead didn’t last long as Son Heung-Min drew Spurs level three minutes later following a defensive mistake.
Arsenal enjoyed the larger share of possession for the remainder of the North London derby, but they weren’t clinical enough, and Tottenham punished them for it, with Toby Alderweireld heading in the winner unmarked from a corner nine minutes from time.
Premier League legend Alan Shearer wasn’t impressed with both teams’ performances, and he made his disappointment very clear in his column in The Sun.
