Published on July 12, 2020, Tottenham Hotspur secured a crucial 2-1 win over Arsenal in their London derby, with Toby Alderweireld scoring the winner to seal the victory.
The match saw both teams come into the clash in bad shape, with Jose Mourinho and Mikel Arteta facing off in their first north London derby as managers.
Spurs were desperate to give their fans a glimmer of hope following a string of poor performances since the resumption of football.
However, it was the Gunners who found the back of the net first as Alexander Lacazette lashed a rising drive past the diving Hugo Lloris to make it 1-0.
But the hosts, Tottenham Hotspur, restored parity soon after through Son Heung-Min who chipped the ball gently over Martinez with his left foot.
With nine minutes left to finish the match, Toby Alderweireld headed home after he rose higher than Tierney to net the winner.
The result saw Spurs move above Arsenal in eighth with 50 points as Mikel's men dropped to ninth to leave their top four hopes in limbo.
