Mikel Arteta's side were under pressure going into the game after consecutive home defeats, and things got even worse when Son Heung-min put Tottenham ahead in the 25th minute when his volley following a corner was deflected into the net.

A header from Gabriel Magalhaes forced a Dominic Solanke own goal from a 40th-minute corner to get Arsenal level.

Leandro Trossard scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the 44th minute when he was given acres of space to advance down the left before beating Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky with a bouncing shot.

Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard all passed up chances to increase the home side's lead in the second half, meaning they had to survive a nervy finish to secure the victory.
