Tottenham 2-1 Arsenal

A long range effort from Kyle Walker delivered Tottenham victory in the north London derby and put the focus firmly back on Arsenal’s disappointing start to the season.

Walker struck midway through the second half after Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey had cancelled outz Rafael van der Vaart’s 40th minute opening goal.

Gunners ‘keeper Wojciech Szczesny should have kept out Walker’s effort, but the keeper’s error summed up a miserable campaign for Arsenal who have now lost four of their seven league games and already lie 12 points adrift of the top of the table.

Arsene Wenger’s frustration was evident at the final whistle when he became involved in a confrontation with Clive Allen, the Spurs coach.

Arsenal: Szczesny; Sagna (Jenkinson 68), Mertesacker, Song, Gibbs; Coquelin, Ramsey; Walcott (Benayoun 72), Arteta, Gervinho (Arshavin 78); van Persie.
