Arsenal came from behind to beat Tottenham in an engrossing north London derby at the Emirates.

Unai Emery's side trailed 2-1 at the break after Eric Dier's header and Harry Kane's penalty had stunned the hosts, who had themselves gone in front from the spot via Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

But they got a deserved win with three unanswered second-half goals, the first a pearler from Aubameyang and then a deflected Alexandre Lacazette strike before Lucas Torreira's late goal sealed the win.

Christian Eriksen: The Dane is not letting the uncertainty around his future at the club come in the way of his performances. He grabbed an assist and was the mastermind once again in Tottenham’s convincing victory over Chelsea, before coming off the bench to score the late winner against Inter to ensure Spurs remain alive in the race for progression into the Champions League knockout stages.

  ↵The most eye-catching news is that Mesut Ozil is left out of the entire Gunners squad, with Arsenal citing a back spasm. Alexandre Lacazette only makes the bench. For Spurs, the young Argentine Juan Foyth plays alongside Jan Vertonghen at centre-half, with Toby Alderweireld among the substitutes.

According to the bookies, this fixture is set to be the dirtiest derby of the weekend with the most booking points. 

Do you agree?

The players are emerging from the tunnel for the first North London Derby of the season. 

Are you ready?

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 14:02

And were underway with Arsenal making a bright start! 

Mkhitaryan carries the ball a long way and seeks out Aubameyang with his cross and the Gabon international's header goes over the bar. 

Bright start to the game. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 14:07

2 mins: Arsenal finding the wings to some success and their crosses are causing Spurs a lot of early danger. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 14:08

5 mins: Spurs finally settle down and play some nice passes around before LLoris gives possession back to the Gunners. 

They'll want a goal during this spell in the ascendancy. 

Nathan Jacobs2 December 2018 14:12

8 mins: PENALTY ARSENAL! 

It's been coming after the Gunners positive start and Vertonghen is to blame. 

He's handballed it for absolutely no reason and has given Aubameyang the chance.
