Arsenal defeat Tottenham Arsenal won the north London derby 1-0 after a tight and heated match in which seven yellow cards were shown in the first half. Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães scored the winner with a header in the 64th minute to give the Gunners their third successive win at their arch-rivals' stadium. Arsenal were without several players and manager Mikel Arteta said: “We had to adapt the plan a little bit because of the players we had available. And I love it because from the day we started getting bad news, the team was getting hungrier and hungrier to play the game. And that's a big compliment to everyone at the club.” Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou lamented his side's defeat, saying “they wasted some of our good play… we just haven't had that kind of conviction in the front third to take advantage of it.”
