Tottenham 0-3 Arsenal LIVE: updates, scores, analysis, highlights

One of the most delightful north London derbies in recent history comes on Sunday as Arsenal put their Premier League title hopes in jeopardy against a Tottenham Hotspur side looking to enhance their top-four credentials.

The sides traded blows earlier this year when Heung-min Son and Bukayo Saka recorded devices in a 2-2 split at the Emirates Stadium.

The stakes are huge as Arsenal are in the thick of the race for first place and boasting a 23-5-5 record, with no other trophies on offer this season for Mikel Arteta, while Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou waits finish his first season with a top-four flourish.

Tottenham are fifth in the table with 60 points, six behind Aston Villa and with two games in hand on Unai Emery’s men.

Tottenham vs Arsenal live updates! – By Joe Prince-Wright at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham v Arsenal score: 0-3

Hojbjerg OG 15′, Saka 27′, Havertz 38′

Son is played over the top and passes straight through, but he lands his shot horribly over the top

This was a great chance before half-time for Spurs. Son is played over the top and Raya runs off his line to close the angle, but Son should do better. He lifts the shot very far. Head in hands moment for the Spurs captain.

It’s all over here, that’s for sure… Havertz scores from a corner – Tottenham 0-3 Arsenal (38 minutes)

Well, that’s a shocking call from Spurs. A corner is awarded and Havertz takes about three steps and returns home two yards away. So easy for Arsenal, who are flying. Gunners fans are having a great day: ‘Tottenham get their ass kicked wherever they go!’ is the current song of your choice…

The chaos continues as Saka calmly heads home – Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal (27 minutes)

On the one hand, Spurs want a penalty, but there is no foul as Kulusevski’s heel connects with Trossard’s knee. Arsenal continue to play and the ball passes to Havertz, who then plays a perfect pass to Bukayo Saka. He takes his time, cuts inside and finishes calmly into the bottom corner.

No goals! Van de Ven’s shot disallowed by VAR

Tottenham thought they were level when a corner was half-cleared and a return ball found Micky van de Ven and he finished. The home fans go crazy. But wait. VAR is getting involved. Van de Ven is out of the game. This is a very difficult decision. I was okay with that here at the stadium and it looked like Micky van de Ven was on the pitch. It all happened so fast, but the lines don’t lie.

It should be 1-1! Romero heads inches wide and then hits the post

Romero heads wide. He should score. Odegaard went down just before Romero headed wide, but it didn’t have much effect. Moments later, Romero headed against the post as Maddison’s fine free-kick found him on the post.

Hojbjerg heads into his own net – Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal (15 minutes)

Exactly what Arsenal wanted. A Saka corner was hit at the near post under pressure from Tomiyasu, then the ball went off Hojbjerg’s head and went in.

Brilliant pressure from Spurs and Maddison shoots over

Tottenham forced Tomiyasu into a mistake and the ball finally reached Maddison on the edge of the box, but his curled shot was high, wide and not pretty. Still, this type of situation is very promising for Spurs.

Frantic start, especially in midfield

Spurs are targeting Thomas Partey and have won the ball back from him on a few occasions. Arsenal are still trying to gain pace and Tottenham force them to make mistakes. As expected, a very tasty start here.

Hello and welcome to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a truly massive North London derby!

Spurs are fighting for the top four. Arsenal for the title. Does it get much bigger than that? Besides these two being in a battle for the title, no, that doesn’t happen. There’s passion, tension and optimism in the air in equal amounts here in North London. By the way, the DJ is actually playing techno here and everyone is excited. Even more than they already were.

The team news is intriguing, with Partey replacing Arsenal in midfield, which should give them extra defensive cover to stop Spurs’ counter-attacks. Tottenham opted for Hojbjerg in midfield alongside Bentancur, while Werner, Maddison, Kulusevski and Son start in attack. This should be a very open and exciting game.

Tottenham lineup

Vicarious; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Hojbjerg, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Werner; Son

Arsenal lineup

Raya; Branco, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
