Arsenal claimed north London bragging rights with a comprehensive 4-1 defeat of Spurs in the derby – and Gabriel Magalhaes took the opportunity to poke fun at Richarlison after the win.

A shock midweek setback at Wolves ratcheted up the pressure on the Premier League leaders entering Sunday’s contest, with just two points separating Mikel Arteta’s men from Manchester City.

But the Gunners put their bitter rivals to the sword at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to tighten their grip on top spot, despite Spurs going into the break level after Randal Kolo Muani had cancelled out Eberechi Eze’s opener in an absorbing first half.

Two goals from Viktor Gyokeres – either side of Eze’s second on the hour-mark – ensured the visitors came away with a memorable victory, a result that restored their advantage at the top to five points.

Arteta’s side will look to pick up where they left off when they return to Premier League action against fourth-placed Chelsea at the Emirates in a week’s time.

Gabriel produced another strong performance at the heart of Arsenal’s defence alongside William Saliba, with Spurs limited to a total of only six shots across the entirety of the match.
