Arsenal Slumps as Tottenham Keeps Top 4 hopes Alive
Tottenham claimed a derby win over Arsenal at Wembley today with their 1-0 win over the Gunners.
Harry Kane who is having a time of his life presently with Tottenham gave Tottenham’s top-four hopes a big boost with his header goal to secure a 1-0 win over their London rivals, Arsenal, this Saturday.

The England striker lashed on a Ben Davies’ cross in the 49th minute to head in the first and only goal of the game.
The victory lifts Mauricio Pochettino’s side into third place on the table, having played a game more than Liverpool and Chelsea, while Arsenal slip to six points adrift of the coveted Champions League spots.
Arsene Wenger named Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil in attack but the Gunners looked like they forgot their weapons in their arsenals after the very same attacking force gunned down Everton five times last week.
Spurs likewise had few chances in a poor first half but Kane made amends with his 23rd league goal of the season, his seventh top-flight derby strike in as many games.
The home side missed good opportunities to extend their lead but they rarely looked in danger of conceding an equaliser, as Arsenal slipped to an eighth loss of a league season that looks set to end in disappointment again.
