DAILY COURIER - Gabriel’s second half header earned Arsenal a crucial 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur in a feisty north London derby to keep pace with early Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Spurs started sharper, and David Raya was forced into early saves before Arsenal fought their way into the contest, although Jurrien Timber was perhaps fortunate to avoid a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Pedro Porro in the first half.
The Gunners jump to second in the Premier League table with 10 points – two adrift of table toppers and reigning champions Manchester City.
Gabriel’s 64th-minute header from a corner kick helped Arsenal earn the three points and sealed their third win in four matches this season.
Tottenham drop to 13th with four points, having won only one of their four games in this campaign.
