50. Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Arsenal
Tottenham playing much higher in the second half, and it leads to a great chance for Harry Kane, who is brilliantly denied by Aaron Ramsdale.
He rolls the defender and fires a shot towards the top corner, but it is a good height for the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Arsenal start the second half brightly, and Saka continues to cause problems for Tottenham inside the area.
Kulusevski has a half-chance as some space opens up for him on the right-hand side of the box, but he blazes his shot over the bar.
46. Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Arsenal
Hojbjerg gets us underway in the second half, and Spurs really need to get an early goal in this one if they want a chance of getting back in it.
A great first-half
If you are an Arsenal fan...
As it stands, Arsenal are in total control, thanks to an early own-goal by Hugo Lloris, and a screamer by Martin Odegaard.
However, there is certainly a way back into this for Tottenham in the second half, but you would imagine that they need a goal fairly early on.

The referee calls the first half to a close, and there may have been a penalty in that for Spurs just before the whistle went.

Another foul on Bukayo Saka...
At this point I could just copy and paste that sentence in every five minutes or so.
42. Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Arsenal
Odegaard whips a free kick towards goal, but it is blocked by the Tottenham wall.
The next goal is going to be absolutely huge in this one, if it goes Arsenal's way, it is game over.
But, if Tottenham can get one back it is suddenly game on!

Saka wins another free-kick on the edge of the box for Arsenal.
He is a nightmare to deal with for the Tottenham defence.
38. Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Arsenal
Martin Odegaard is a magical footballer, and has proved why he was awarded that Premier League player of the month award.
What a strike that was, and just as we were saying Arsenal will do well to go into half-time 1-0 down, Arsenal made it two...
36. Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Arsenal
Just like that, it's two!
Saka rolls the ball into Odegaard who is about 25-yards out and strikes the ball low and hard into the bottom right corner.
A beauty.
34. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Spurs will do well to go into half-time with the score at 1-0, they have been the 'second-half side' so far this season, so can take some confidence from that, at least.
32. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Nketiah does really well inside the box to control a Ben White cross, and then plays a nice reverse pass to Martin Odegaard.
Spurs cannot lay a glove on Arsenal as it stands, The Gunners are playing like it is a training game.
30. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Here comes Bukayo Saka once again on the right-hand side, but he slips are the final moment and his cross is just off the pace.
What a player he is, they cannot cope with him so far.
28. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal are in control here, and it looks like Spurs are just trying to stay in the game for now.
If Arsenal can deliver a killer second goal, then it might just be over before it has really got started.
There is real unease among the Tottenham fans, and understandably so...
25. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Partey rattles the post!
What a goal that would have been.
The ball comes out to him on the edge of the box, set up perfectly for a full volley.
He smashes it from distance, and it is heading for the top corner but just hits the post.
So close, not only to a 2-0 lead, but also to a goal of the season contender.
22. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Hojbjerg has a go from distance, but it is blocked well by the Arsenal back line.
It is then Arsenal who come forward and Odegaard strikes it from distance, and he forces Lloris into a good save this time.
20. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Almost two for Arsenal!
This is end-to-end stuff at the moment, and Tottenham just cannot deal with Bukayo Saka on the right hand side.
He sets up Nketiah who strikes the ball across goal, and forces a nearly goal-line clearance from Matt Doherty.
18. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Huge chance for Spurs!
The ball rolls across the box, and looks destined for Kulusevski to strike before Sessegnon takes the ball away from him.
It looks like the attack is over, but Sessegnon does really well to pick out Son, who is 1v1 against Ramsdale.
His shot on the half-volley inside the box is brilliantly saved by the English goalkeeper.
16. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Correction: that goal has gone down as a Hugo Lloris own goal.
Saka got in down the right-hand side, and was shown onto his right foot by Ryan Sessegnon.
It wasn't a particularly powerful effort from the English star boy, but Hugo Lloris flapped at it, and palmed it into his own net.
Terrible goalkeeping, but it is 1-0 to Arsenal!
14. Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Arsenal
Saka opens the scoring for Arsenal!
It is horrible from Hugo Lloris, a howler!
