Arsenal beat Tottenham 1-0 in the north London derby after a tight and heated game that saw seven yellow cards awarded in the first half. Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães scored the winner with a header in the 64th minute to grab the Gunners their third win in a row at their arch-rivals' stadium. Arsenal had a number of players missing and their manager, Mikel Arteta, said: 'We had to adapt the plan a little bit because of the players that we had available. And I love it because since the day that we have started to get bad news, the team got hungrier and hungrier to play the game. And that's a big compliment to everybody at the club.' Tottenham's manager, Ange Postecoglou, lamented his side's loss, saying they 'wasted some of our good play … we just haven't really had that sort of conviction in the front third to take advantage.'
