Arsenal have prevailed in a spectacular Premier League pursuit against Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners won the Northern London derby 4-2 (1: 2). The man of the match was the former Dortmunder Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The attacker is currently extremely effective: With his past ten shots on the goal he has now scored ten goals.

Against Tottenham the Gabonese was even double scorer. Only he brought his team early by hand penalty in the lead (10th minute), then he made up after the break with a remarkable right-foot shot to 2: 2 (56th). Earlier, Eric Dier had the head (30.) and Harry Kane (34.) fouled the game with a double strike.

In the closing stages, Aubameyang also shone as a preparer: He put Lucas Torreira goal to a 4-2 final score with a precise pass (77.). Only three minutes earlier substitute Alexandre Lacazette had brought Arsenal into the lead for the second time. In the closing stages, Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen saw yellow-red (85 ') for repeated foul play.

The Gunners have now been unbeaten for 12 league games. They also pull past rival Tottenham. Both teams are now equal on points four and five, Arsenal is due to the better goal ratio forward. After a convincing 3-1 win over Chelsea, the Spurs have run for three wins in a row. Chelsea themselves remain third, as coach Maurizio Sarri's team won 2-0 against FC Fulham after two games without a win.
