Harry Kane gave Spurs the lead from the spot in the 22nd minute after Son Heung-min was fouled by Cedric Soares, then added a second in the 37th minute before the break with a stooping far-post header after Rodrigo Bentancur flicked on a corner.

In between, Arsenal had been reduced to 10 men when Rob Holding was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Son, while the South Korean finished off any hopes the Gunners had when he fired in from 10 yards two minutes after half-time.

Arsenal will look forward to recover from the defeat as they travel to to play Newcastle United on Monday, May 16 and wrap up the season at the Emirates Stadium to face Everton May 22.

Meanwhile, Spurs will face Burnley on Sunday, May 15 and Norwich City May 22. BBC Sport
