Despite being without a string of first-team players, including captain Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, the Gunners battled to a 1-0 win .
Gabriel was the hero, powering home a header midway through the second-half after rising to meet Bukayo Saka’s corner.
The win means Arsenal move up to second in the Premier League and are just two points off Manchester City ahead of their trip to the Etihad next week.
Simon Collings was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see Arsenal in action...
David Raya 8
Continued his fine form this season. Made a number of good saves early on and was solid all afternoon. Grown into a goalkeeper with a real presence about him.
Ben White 6
Struggled to deal with Heung-Min Son, especially in the opening stages. Got better as the game went on, but not at his best.
William Saliba 8
Booked in the opening 15 minutes, however that didn’t impact him. Dominant at the back and so assured on the ball, too.
Gabriel 9 | Star player
Scored a thumping header to give Arsenal the three points. Capped off a brilliant performance. Made so many important blocks.
