Tottenham Hotspur picked up another win this afternoon as they beat Arsenal 2-0 at home.

Spurs came into the game knowing they would return to the top of the Premier League able with a win, and they comfortable throughout.

Son Heung-min fired Spurs in front, taking Harry Kane’s pass before firing a beautiful curling strike into the net from range.

Son returned the favour before the break, feeding Kane to make it 2-0 as Arsenal were left short at the back.

The Gunners once again failed to score, and Jose Mourinho made absolutely sure of the win by ending the game with six defenders on the pitch.

There were a number of key performances in the Spurs side, but one that may go under the radar is that of Moussa Sissoko.

The Frenchman turned in a committed and battling display, not only helping Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield but also Serge Aurier at right back.

Some called Sissoko ‘immense’ and ‘unreal’, believing that he goes underrated by many and deserves praise having been ‘off the chart’ today.
