Mauricio Pochettino reacts to Tottenham victory over Inter Milan in Champions League

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.

  ↵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.

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

Are you ready?

[2 December 2018 14:07 · Nathan Jacobs]

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.

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

[2 December 2018 14:12 · Nathan Jacobs]

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. 

[2 December 2018 14:15 · Nathan Jacobs]

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.
