[Game Highlights] Tottenham Beat Arsenal 2-0, Son & Kane Score

By: Leave a Comment

LODNON — Tottenham beat Arsenal 2-0 to return to the top of English Premier League table standings in the North London derby on Sunday.

Arsenal have collected just one win in seven games and are still stuck in the bottom half of the table.

First half goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane did the trick for Spurs, who welcome 2,000 fans back inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the Week 11 encounter.

“It’s fantastic, this is exactly what we set out for,” Kane told to Sky Sports. “The second was a bit of a grind, we defended well, they didn’t create too many clear-cut chances. We are delighted with the win.

“It’s nice [to be the all-time leading north London derby scorer]. It was a great assist from Son, and it was nice to see it go in. But the most important thing is the three points.

“It’s been a tough few games and we’ve come out of it well. We’ve got to keep it going now.”

Jose Mourinho side took the lead after 13-minutes when the in-form Son finished brilliantly to complete a classic Mourinho counter-attacking style of football.

The South Korean collected a pass from Harry Kane in midfield, carried the ball down the left side and then whipped home a curling shot from outside the 18-yard box past Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno for 1-0.

Following the goal, Arsenal dominated the possession again, but it was Tottenham which found a way to score.

Spurs double the lead on the stroke of halftime when Son turned the provider for his strike partner – slipping Kane with a pass for the England striker to fire home past Leno off the other side of the crossbar.

Midfielder Thomas Partey, who only just returned from injury, was heavily criticized after he stepped off the pitch in the build-up to Tottenham’s goal instead of staying put to help with the counter or going down on the pitch to draw the attention of the referee or his teammates.

He was seen ripping off his shirt as he heads straight down the tunnel with what could very well be a recurrence of the injury which had kept him out for a while.

Tottenham returned to the top of the Premier League standings with 24 points, two more than overnight leaders Chelsea.

Arsenal had a lot of possession throughout the encounter and completely dominated the second half. They were able to restrict Tottenham’s counter-attacks after halftime, Mourinho side had already done the damage.

They were left with nothing to show for it, and sit 15th in the EPL standings on 13 points.

The Gunners had 44 crosses against Tottenham today, the most so far under Mikel Arteta, and by far the most by a Premier League team in any game this season.

However, the visitors had no goals to show for it.

In Arsenal team news, summer signing Thomas Partey starts after returning from injury, with Rob Holding and Alexandre Lacazette also start in a side that sees three changes from last week’s defeat to Wolves.

Dani Ceballos and Joe Willock drop to the Arsenal bench, while David Luiz, as expected is not in the matchday squad after last week’s head injury incident.

Tottenham are second in the EPL standings entering this game behind leaders Chelsea, but will return to the top with a victory.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are 15th place in the table standings and would prefer not to lose further ground on those teams above them in the chase for a Top 4 spot.

Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side played four Premier League games in November, winning three and drawing the other to collect 10 points from a possible 12.

Things have not been the same for the Gunners in the month of November, though, with Mikel Arteta side winning just once in four EPL outings, including a 2-1 defeat to Wolves at the Emirates Stadium the last time out.

Arsenal have scored just two goals in those last four Premier League outings and conceding five at the other end.

Alexandre Lacazette is Arsenal’s leading goalscorer this season with three goals, while captain and fellow striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as well as defender Gabriel both net twice so far.

For Tottenham Heung-Min Son has scored nine times already in the league with Harry Kane finding the back of the net seven times.

As many as 2,000 fans will be allowed to be in attendance at some of the stadiums this weekend, following a relaxing of the COVID-19 rules.

The schedule was slated to begin on Friday, Dec. 4, with Newcastle United set to visit Aston Villa in Birmingham.

However, the game was postponed due to a Covid-19 spike, so fan will now turn their attention to Saturday set of games. The weekend fixtures will begin at Turf Moor when Burnley play host to Everton, a side that was beaten 1-0 by Leeds last weekend and lost four of the past five EPL fixtures.

Manchester City could move into the Top 4 of the EPL standing before the teams above them kickoff, with a win over Fulham, while Manchester United will hope to bounce back from the Champions League at PSG when they visit West Ham United.

A win for the Red Devils would see them move into the Top 4 and would eventually still have a game in hand.

Saturday’s schedule closes out with Frank Lampard’s Chelsea hosting Leeds in what should be an interesting encounter at Stamford Bridge.

Four EPL games are slated for Sunday, with of course the big game coming from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where Spurs will meet Arsenal.

Tottenham enter Week 11 sitting atop the EPL Standings, while Arsenal, with one win in the last five league games, are 14th.

Elsewhere on Sunday, West Bromwich host Crystal Palace, bottom placed side Sheffield United welcome Leicester City, while Liverpool close out the weekend at home to Wolves.

LONDON, Sporting Alert — The complete fixture for the English Premier League Week 4 matches this coming weekend, as club action resumes after the international break.

Week 4 round of games will kickoff with the highlighted match of the week involving Manchester City and Liverpool at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Both teams will fancy their chances of pulling off the victory given the firepower they have up front and because there will certainly be goals, the team with the better defense is expected to seal the points.

Philippe Coutinho of Liverpool not in the squad.

Despite being fit enough to feature for Brazil in a pair of World Cup qualifiers, Philippe Coutinho will not be involved for Liverpool after he was left out of the squad.

“It was not the most easy time, but that is the transfer window. I think we handled it really well,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp of Coutinho.

“He could have played 15, 20 minutes in the City game, maybe longer, but I think really it makes sense [to leave him out].”

Full-back Nathaniel Clyne and midfielder Adam Lallana are both long-term absentees for Liverpool and will not be available.

However, new Reds signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is in line for a debut after his £35m transfer move from Arsenal on deadline-day.

Manchester City will be without captain and leading centre-back Vincent Kompany after he picked up a slight calf injury on international duty for Belgium.

“I’m sad [for Vincent Kompany] – I would like him to be fit. He made a huge effort,” Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said.

“Our physios worked a lot to take care of him so the last seven, eight, nine games of last season he played without a problem.”

Right-back Kyle Walker is available for Man City after a one-match ban.

However, forward Raheem Sterling is suspended following his red card at Bournemouth.

Defending champion Chelsea travel to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City in a game that could see midfielder Danny Drinkwater make his debut against his former Foxes teammates.

England Premier League leaders Manchester United go in search of their fourth successive victory of the season when they visit Stoke City in what is expected to be a tough challenge for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Elsewhere, Arsenal will entertain Bournemouth hoping to bounce back from back-to-back defeats and a disastrous summer transfer window.

Also on Saturday, Everton will welcome Tottenham, Brighton will face West Bromwich, while Southampton will take on the traveling Watford.

Two matches are on the schedule for Sunday, with Burnley facing Crystal Palace and Swansea City entertaining Newcastle United.

The lone game on Monday sees West Ham United facing Huddersfield Town at home.

Tottenham 1-2 Chelsea: Team News, Videos, Recap

WEMBLEY, Sporting Alert — Marcos Alonso scored twice to push Chelsea to a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the English Premier League at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Chelsea were bouncing back from last week’s 3-2 home defeat to Burnley, where Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill were both sent off.

At Wembley on Sunday, Alonso curled home a free-kick exquisitely into the top corner of Hugo Lloris’ goal from about 30 yards to give Chelsea the lead in the 24th minute.

Substitute Michy Batshuayi handed Tottenham a chance when he headed past his own goalkeeper in the 81st minute to level up the scores.

However, desperate to stay in touch with the early leaders, Chelsea pushed for a winner and managed to bag another goal from the unlikely source of Alonso.

Tottenham gave the ball away and were punished after Alonso picked it up down the left and fired in a very savable effort at Lloris, who let the ball slipped under his body in the 88th minute.

Antonio Conte, the Chelsea Manager celebrates a win in the Premier League

“I want to thank my players. They showed me great desire, great will, great heart. A will to fight,” Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said.

“I saw the fighters. I saw a lot of positive things in not an easy moment with injuries and suspensions – don’t forget that. It’s a fantastic result.”

Sunday’s defeat, in the meantime, saw Tottenham’s 19-game home Premier League unbeaten streak ending.

Spurs, notably, have lost seven of their last nine matches at Wembley, including each of their last four games against Chelsea at this venue.

But manager Mauricio Pochettino refuses to blame Wembley for his side’s defeat.

“It doesn’t affect me. But I understand. We need to talk about it – Wembley is not the reason we lost,” Pochettino said.

“We played very well. It’s not fair to blame Wembley – it’s one of the best places in the world to play football.

“Wembley wasn’t the problem. We played better with the size of the pitch. We need to be more clinical. We created enough opportunities. We will win a lot of games in the future.”

HALF-TIME REPORT

Marcos Alonso scored a stunning free-kick to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead over Tottenham in their English Premier League Super Sunday clash at Wembley Stadium.

WATCH: Tottenham v. Chelsea

Alonso, who took the set-piece ahead of regular taker Willian, curled an inch-perfect free-kick from 30 yards out of the reach of Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to leave Wembley stunned in the 24th minute.

Alvaro Morata missed a point-blank header early on for the Blues, while Tottenham had several chances to pull level after the Chelsea.

Harry Kane blasted an effort on the post and was denied also by Thibaut Courtois.

Christian Eriksen’s free-kick in the 38th minute just went wide after needing just a slight touch.

TEAM NEWS

Earlier, Tottenham made two changes from the side that beat Newcastle United in the season opener last week.

Kieran Trippier and Victor Wanyama return to the starting line up in place of Kyle Walker-Peters, who was the Man of the Match in the 2-0 win over Newcastle last weekend, and Moussa Sissoko.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, in the meantime, made four adjustments to the team that was beaten 3-2 by Burnley last week.

Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas are both suspended after picking up red cards in Week 1, while Michy Batshuayi also makes way.

Tiémoué Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata were both handed debuts, while Victor Moses also returns and Andreas Christensen gets a start.

Mata was an unused substitute in midweek in Manchester United’s Champions League game in Russia, but manager Louis van Gaal has decided to recall the Spanish international for this big time fixture.

Mata return sees Jesse Lingard making way, but he is on the bench, with Memphis Depay also having to play a substitute role again for the Red Devils after his poor performances recently.

Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial lead the attack for Manchester United, with Ander Herrera also keeping his place, following his impressive performances in the last two outings.

Daley Blind stays on the bench, with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling starting at centre-back. Antonio Valencia is also preferred ahead of Matteo Darmian at right-back, with Marco Rojo on the left side.

Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin are the favoured two to start in central midfield, with Michael Carrick on the bench.

And staying on the subject of midfield, Manchester City have decided to go with Brazilian pair Fernando and Fernandinho in the central part of their pitch.

There is no David Silva, though, so Yaya Toure will push further up the park, with Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling supporting Wilfried Bony, who gets the starting nod, as Sergio Augero is still injured.

Leading centre-back Vincent Kompany is however, fit to start and he will be partnered by summer recruit Nicolas Otamendi in the heart of the backline. Bacary Sagna and Aleksandar Kolarov start as well.

Among the subs for Manchester City are Pablo Zabaleta, Jesus Navas, Eliaquim Mangala, Martin Demichelis and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Manchester United have Sergio Romero, Marouane Fellaini, Depay, Carrick and Blind among the subs.
