Comments:

League position: 5th Tottenham Hotspur have now won five Premier League matches this season from a losing position; more than any other side. They are also now unbeaten in their last seven home Premier League matches This was their 50th win against Arsenal in the top flight. They have now kept only one clean sheet in their last 32 Premier League games against Arsenal. Spurs have now failed to score in only one of their last 15 games in all competitions. Harry Kane has now scored 11 goals in his last 14 appearances in league and cup in his total of 22 so far in this season. The Spurs starting XI was the youngest so far selected in the Premier League in this season (an average age of 24 years and 37 days). Nabil Bentaleb was booked in the first minute of added time in the second half. Paulinho replaced Ryan Mason in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 6th Despite being geographically their nearest opponent, Arsenal arrived 30 minutes late at the ground due to traffic problems. Arsene Wenger took charge of his 700th Premier League match, becoming only the second manager to achieve this feat after Sir Alex Ferguson. This result ended Arsenal’s five match winning run in all competitions. Danny Welbeck was booked in the first minute of added time in the first half. Aaron Ramsey was booked in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.
