ARSENAL GO DOWN THE TABLE AS THEY LOSE TO SPURS

-
Harry Kane's fine season continued in Saturday's 174th north London derby as he struck twice after the break to earn his side a 2-1 win over Arsenal at White Hart Lane.

Kane has been in a hot form this season
Arsenal, who were without their injured top goalscorer Alexis Sanchez, were on course for their first back-to-back victories at Spurs since the late 1980s after taking the lead in Arsene Wenger's 700th Barclays Premier League match in charge. However, Kane, who was rewarded with a new contract at the beginning of the week, had other ideas as he turned the occasion on its head following Mesut Ozil's opener to give Spurs a first derby win in five attempts.

Despite the hosts making the early running, Ozil opened the scoring 11 minutes in after an incisive break, with Spurs initially frustrated in their attempts to get back on level terms. The hosts’ pressure eventually told when Kane grabbed his first derby goal to level in the 56th minute, and the England Under-21 forward took his tally to 11 goals from his last 14 Spurs appearances with a superb header late on. This ended Arsenal's five-match winning run in all competitions as their north London rivals leapfrogged them into the top four ahead of the afternoon’s other kick-offs.

After the first half of the weekends premier league games Arsenal find themselves in 6th position,as spurs take the 5th spot owing to their crucial win at white heart lane.

Chelsea fan? Sorry, ignore that 😁 It's gonna be a crazee weekend, a weekend of hope for people like me going to the Etihad. One team i pity this weekend is Huddersfield Town, Chelsea will be hoping to make them pay for last weekend's HUMILIATION (some of us enjoyed the movie) ... even the supporters of a team that have refused to leave the 6th spot celebrated 😁😁 but really Huddersfield could prove difficult for the Blues even though they won the reverse fixture 3-0 but it's a new manager and Chelsea couldn't beat them last season at the Bridge and mind you, they still don...

Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker has said Alexis Sanchez is "definitely" staying at the club next season. Sanchez's future remains unclear as he is set to enter the last year of his contract, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reiterated on Tuesday that he will not sell the Chile international. And Mertesacker, who is retiring next season to take charge of Arsenal's academy, told Fox Sports in Australia that he is expecting to line up alongside Sanchez in his final year as a player. When asked if Sanchez is staying at Arsenal, Mertesacker said: "Yes, definitely. I think [Sanchez] was impressive in the Confederations Cup. He's now on holiday so it's quiet in terms of conversations. But he's a warrior on the pitch. "I think he wants to come back as quickly as possible -- he hates holidays, he hates to calm down. I'm looking forward to playing alongside him in my last season and he thinks the same." Arsenal are...
