Arsenal went behind early but turned the game on its head just before half time to beat historic rivals Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 and reclaim second place on the Premier League table.

Goals from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel have turned the north London derby around after Son Heung-min's opener. The Tottenham captain opened the scoring with a deflected effort but it was a set piece that did the business again for Arsenal with the Brazilian heading in from Declan Rice's corner before Trossard finished superby to make it 2-1.

Ange Postecoglou refused to make any excuses after his depleted Tottenham team tasted defeat for an 11th time in the Premier League this term.
