Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal LIVE! Kane goal – Premier League match stream, latest score and updates today
It’s the biggest north London derby in years as Tottenham host Arsenal in a potentially decisive clash in the race for Champions League football.
The hosts have suffered an injury blow, with Cristian Romero ruled out, while Arsenal will be relieved to have Bukayo Saka available and he starts.
The Gunners make the short trip to face their rivals with a four-point cushion going into the final three games of the season, meaning they will still be in fourth whatever happens tonight.
But Mikel Arteta and his side know that victory would seal a top-four spot and book their return to Europe’s top table for the first time since the 2016/17 season.

For Tottenham, victory is really a necessity. Antonio Conte’s side were impressive at Anfield in their last match to earn a point, and will have a raucous home crowd behind them as they look to close the gap to the Gunners.
A win for Spurs tonight would mean they could be two points clear in fourth place by the time Arsenal travel to face Newcastle on Monday night, in what looks to be a tricky fixture.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal | Harry Kane 37′
Swung into the box, Kane flicks it on and Tomiyasu heads it behind for a corner. Could have let it go out but he didn’t get the shout. Arsenal still unsure whether to make a substitute or not.
AND NOW SPURS ARE 2-0 UP! Corner flicked on and Kane is there waiting for a simple finish at the back post. Spurs are in complete control.

35 mins: Free-kick Spurs after Saka and Odegaard go in on Hojbjerg.
Even worse for Arsenal is that Saka has gone down in pain. He’s back up, looks fine to continue.

Arsenal now have a mountain to climb. I don’t think Holding can have any complaints there at all. A head’s gone moment.

RED CARD!
HOLDING HAS BEEN SENT OFF FOR THE GUNNERS!
He’s been diving in all match, and now he’s cost his side. Long ball forward for Son, Holding steps across Son and raises an arm to cut him off.
That’s a second yellow and Arsenal are down to ten.

31 mins: That’s brilliant defending from Cedric.
Arsenal cut open far too easily as Hojbjerg gets in behind Tomiyasu. Squares it into the box, Kane is there waiting for a tap-in but Cedric gets back to clear the danger.
Gunners really on the ropes.

29 mins: Dier with a really poor ball out from the back and Arsenal are back on the attack.
Odegaard lays it off to Xhaka, who can’t resist from 25 yards out. That’s still rising.

27 mins: Holding for the third time tonight gets far too tight to Son, commits another foul and the referee has seen enough. Yellow card. Arsenal man has certainly not arrived with a cool head tonight.
Spurs are piling on the pressure now, Kane working the space as he drives into the box and goes for goal. Tomiyasu with a brilliant block. Royal then lashes the effort over.

25 mins: Xhaka stands up a cross to the back post, Lloris fumbles it about three times under pressure from Odegaard… eventually holds it.
We can file that under ‘unconvincing’.

For me, it was a clear penalty as Cedric came through the back of Son, knocking him off balance. Fair to say, though, that it is probablty one VAR would not have overturned either way.
