The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Tottenham Hotspur returned to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 derby win over Arsenal.
Harry Kane set up Son Heung-min to break the deadlock with a sensational, curling finish from long range in the 13th minute.
The South Korean returned the compliment in first-half stoppage time when he fed Kane, who powered his shot in off the underside of the bar to become the record scorer in north London derbies, with 11 goals across all competitions.
Arsenal tried to get back into the contest after the break, Hugo Lloris denying Alexandre Lacazette, but the Gunners could not break down a stubborn Spurs defence.
The result extends Spurs’ unbeaten league run to 10 matches and gives them 24 points, while Arsenal stay 15th on 13.
Jose Mourinho has now won 40 London derbies in the Premier League, with only Arsene Wenger winning more (106).
