We have fireworks early in the North London Derby.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur traded goals just over two minutes apart, with high quality finishes the name of the game.
Alexandre Lacazette’s opener for the Gunners was simply stunning, a ball hit so hard it appeared to spin less than a half-dozen times on its 22-yard route to goal.

Spurs had given the Frenchman a long time to address the ball in the midfield and Lacazette smashed his ninth goal of the season home.
The lead didn’t last long thanks to a poor pass from Sead Kolasinac that launched Heung-min Son into a race with David Luiz.
The pair went shoulder-to-shoulder and Son kept the ball moving across the box where Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez couldn’t keep the South Korean from popping the ball over him and into the cage.
