Rob Holding drives into the box and feeds it to Alex Iwobi. Possession is retained out on the left-hand side before the attack eventually breaks down.

Spurs immediately counter through Son Heung-Min on the left. He drives into the centre but delays his pass to Moussa Sissoko on the right. The Spurs midfielder is hurried and his shot is blocked.

Rachel T: Think positively - Spurs have plenty of time to get into this game.

Spurs have spent the majority of the opening 26 minutes in their own half as you can see by their average positioning (on the right). Harry Kane has touched the ball just four times.

But they are starting to get into this game a little more now.

Son Heung-Min has looked sharp. When Spurs get the ball to his feet and he goes on those mazy runs, they look dangerous.

Son Heung-Min does brilliantly to dance his way through several challenges and make his way into the left-hand side of the box.

He fires it from a tight angle but doesn't beat Bernd Leno at the near post. The keeper is pounced upon by Harry Kane but holds onto it.

There's some respite for Tottenham. They probably needed it. They must be conscious of not conceding a second goal before half-time.

That was the scoreline here last season and Arsenal were worthy winners that day.

Son Heung-Min wins the ball in midfield and plays it left to Dele Alli. Tottenham can break forward and Alli slips it through the middle to Christian Eriksen but it's cut-out just in time.

Arsenal are relentless!

Alex Iwobi and Sead Kolasinac combine again but Hector Bellerin's shot is blocked before Lucas Torreira blasts the rebound wide from distance.

The ball is sprayed out to the left wing where Sead Kolasinac is completely unmarked. The full-back cuts is back to Alex Iwobi, who has made a run into the box.

Iwobi strikes it powerfully towards the low corner but it's kept out by the feet of Hugo Lloris!

All Arsenal and this time the stats back it up.

You can see Unai Emery gesticulating to the crowd, saying 'come on, keep up this momentum'.

The tempo is relentless from Arsenal and there is a marked improvement with their running stats this season under Emery.

Arsenal have got straight into Spurs and Mauricio Pochettino's side have been rocked right back on their heels. The goal was a fitting reward for that start.

The home fans are loving it and Arsenal manager Unai Emery's step counter will already be whizzing around. He is expending as much energy as some of his players as he races around his technical area.

Alex Iwobi doesn't get a shot away in the box and the chance looked to have gone for Arsenal but Sead Kolisinac comes charging on the overlap and feeds a ball in from the left which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should bury!

Instead, the Arsenal forward gets it stuck in his feet from a few yards out and Spurs are let off the hook. This is a blistering start from the Gunners!

Dele Alli plays it forward for Son Heung-min to run onto. He does well to create space to shoot, stepping onto his right foot, before Bernd Leno saves well at the near post.

Corner to Spurs.

Shkodran Mustafi was definitely going to head that and Jan Vertonghen lifted his left arm.

The Gunners have come out of the traps fast and you can't argue that they don't deserve the lead.

Jan Vertonghen also received a yellow card for that handball.

Spurs have barely seen the ball yet. Arsenal have certainly made their quick start count!
