Video: How Ben White put off Ryan Sessegnon with Sunday League tactic in north London derby win
Arsenal notched up their first away win in the north London derby since 2014 with a mature performance against a tepid Tottenham side, but were helped by plenty of dark arts to ensure that they opened up an eight point lead at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead after Hugo Lloris pushed a cross into his own net, before Martin Odegaard doubled it with a strike from distance before half time.

A win over the Red Devils would see them move 12 points clear of Erik ten Hag's side, while defeat could see their deficit cut to just 6 points and drag United back into a title race.
