    Tottenham are being torn apart by these rampant Arsenal men!

    Lloris with no chance again with Saka's really composed finish.

    Fantastic celebrations all around.

    It's a sorry state for Spurs - you can't see a way back surely?

    Bukayo Saka

    An outstanding individual goal sends Arsenal into North London dreamland.

    Bukayo Saka powers forward, dances past a couple of challenges, and then finishes sweet as you like.

    Harry Kane tried to put in a challenge inside the box but only got in the way of his defenders allowing Saka to finish.

    Incredible.

    Craig Pawson has just had to have words with Harry Kane. The Spurs forward is frustrated. He's been told to calm down.

    One goal and an assist for 21-year-old Emile Smith Rowe.

    He's bossing this North London derby.

    Andy: Nuno is a poor man's Mourinho. Out by Christmas.

    Neil: I genuinely don't know if this means that Arteta is turning it around or Spurs are getting worse.

    Shaun: I wish Arsenal could start every game like this & more importantly I wish the Emirates could start every game like this. Huge energy all round

    Wow this is too good from Arsenal!

    It had pace, it had position, it had everything.

    Smith Rowe cuts it back brilliantly and then Aubameyang slots it home.

    Tottenham are being pulled apart here.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    This is sensational from Arsenal!

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts and finishes the move after flicking it into the path of Emile Smith Rowe.

    Smith Rowe gallops forwards before playing it into the path of his advancing captain to sweep it home.

    Spurs are all over the place.

    Naughty from Granit Xhaka. He's just gone smashing into Lucas Moura. He's just back from a suspension. Surely he's learned his lesson?

    Gerard: This is the best I've seen Arsenal play since Wenger left.

    Matty: As nicely as we are playing, what are Spurs doing? Not marking Gabriel from a corner, leaving Odegaard in acres of space. They look atrocious in the opening 20 minutes.

    Colin: Smith Rowe, Grealish and Foden in England's midfield. Pure, natural talent!

    Harry Kane has his first clear sight of goal. A huge roar tells you it is off target.

    When was the last time you saw Arsenal players as committed as this?

    It shows you what they're capable of when they're playing like this.

    Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham

    Tottenham are looking to respond and Son Heung-min forces a near-post save from Aaron Ramsdale. From the resulting corner, Japhet Tanganga heads over.

    An encouraging pattern of play for the visitors who have been on the back-foot for large spells.

    Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo is the picture of concern as he throws his arms out wide after that effort by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    He then turned to have words with his backroom team. The Spurs midfield is being over-run and they are clinging on here.

    What an electric start to this game, it's such an enjoyable match to watch.

    I don't think I've even seen Arsenal miss a pass!

    Arsenal 1-0 Tottneham

    I cannot remember the last time Arsenal started a high-stakes game like this.

    Another chance. Just over by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    Worrying times for Spurs.

  18. CLOSE!published at 15 mins

    Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham

    Arsenal are on fire.

    Hesitation by Sergio Reguilon allows them to carve out another chance and Thomas Partey forces another save from Hugo Lloris.

    That was heading for the back of the net.

    That is totally deserved after an excellent start by Arsenal.

    They've been the first to the ball and quicker into the tackles and then their anticipation has been spot on.

    Smith Rowe picks such an intelligent position into the box, Lloris had no chance.

    Fully deserved after an outstanding start. A better start than any of their fans could have imagined.

    Mikel Arteta is hard to read, right? Keeps his feelings to himself?

    Not when that goal went in. The Gunners boss leapt along the touchline punching the air.

    This is a huge match for Arteta. And his players have produced the perfect start for him.
