That’s what happened, and it’s a shame as it’s just a game of football at the end of the day. Kane rolls Gabriel cleverly, breaks down the right and cuts the ball back to Son at the near post. In the second they showed their defensive resilience and game management, although they needed Aaron Ramsdale to make one terrific save and a handful of good ones.

A superb first-half display saw us record a first league double over Spurs since 2013/14 and move us eight points clear.

A two-goal lead wouldn’t have flattered us at that point, and eventually it arrived on 36 minutes.

Gabriel Martinelli: His direct dribbling down the left caused lots of problems in the game. Two assists and a decisive role in the game. Faded a touch in the second.

Thomas Partey: A strike that would have been a goal of the season contender was desperately unlucky not to go in. Excellent in the first half and was key in establishing an essentially four on two dominance in the midfield. He and Saliba were a real partnership on the night. William Saliba: Harry Kane hardly had a sniff for much of the match and a really switched on display from Saliba helped that. 7. Ben White: Spurs' attacking thrust seemed to come mostly down their left and with Saka going forward, exposing White was a risk Arsenal were willing to take.
