Spurs increased their lead to 2-0 with a devastating counter-attack as Son repaid Kane the favour and the England strike found the roof of the net just before half-time.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a great chance in the opening three minutes of the second half but could not keep his header down.

Alexandre Lacazette forced a fine save from Hugo Lloris and the French goalkeeper also made another stop from a Bukayo Saka's free-kick.

Spurs held their lines until the blast of the final whistle to come out of the north London derby with a clean sheet.

Mikel Arteta's side have now lost six out of their last nine matches as continue their poor run of form in the league.
