The Gunners were desperate to redeem themselves having suffered a 2-1 defeat against London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates in the Mind Series tournament.

However, the Mikel Arteta-tutored side were unable to bounce back as they took on Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs, who were fresh from a 2-2 draw against the Blues in their own fixture in midweek proved a hard nut to crack as they secured a 1-0 win over Arsenal.

Heung-Min Son scored the only goal of the match in the 79th minute of the match to earn Spurs the bragging rights.

Summary of the derby

The hosts had a bright start into the fixture as Lucas Moura and Dele Alli got into attacking positions in the box but could not make the chances count.

Son had the best chance to put his side ahead in the early exchanges after he appeared to have been set up by Sanchez but fluffed the opportunity as he fired just wide.

The visitors should have broken the deadlock at the half-hour mark through Alexander Lacazette, but the Frenchman was unlucky as his effort rattled the woodwork.

Dele retaliated almost immediately, but his shot was stopped by the post as both teams headed into the break all level.

With just 11 minutes left on the clock, Son was finally able to find the back of the net as he fired home from Lo Celso's assist.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has broken his silence amid a storm of rumours surrounding his future.

Kane courted controversy earlier in the week after it emerged he had skipped training when he was expected to resume on Monday, August 2.

The striker has been heavily linked to Manchester City, who recently completed the mega signing of Kane’s international teammate Jack Grealish.
