Tottenham's lethal Kane kills off Arsenal again
The Spurs striker tormented the Gunners again as his clinical header sealed a 1-0 win in the north London derby at Wembley on Saturday.
Harry Kane tormented Arsenal again as the Tottenham striker's clinical finish sealed a 1-0 win in the north London derby at Wembley on Saturday.
Deserved win
Kane's header early in the second half gave Tottenham the victory their enterprising display deserved as Mauricio Pochettino's side climbed to third in the Premier League. It was the Tottenham striker's seventh goal in seven league games against the club who rejected him as a youngster.
Sweet revenge
Kane's latest heroics also made it sweet revenge for Tottenham after they were beaten at Arsenal earlier this season. In the first north London derby at Wembley for 25 years, Tottenham extended their recent mastery over Arsenal, who have won only once in the last eight league meetings with their hated neighbours. Tottenham are unbeaten in their last nine league matches and remain in a good position to qualify for the Champions League via a top four finish.
Difficult day for the Gunners
In stark contrast, this was another dispiriting day for Arsenal in a season already marred by too many painful moments. Pochettino's team were doing all the pressing and were finally rewarded in the 49th minute. When Ben Davies swung over a dangerous cross, Kane who reacted quickest, showing more desire than Laurent Koscielny as he towered above the Arsenal defender to guide a fine header past Cech.
