Spurs are gonna 1-0 their way to the title, aren’t they?

Heung-min Son opened the scoring in this season’s first North London derby with a quite ridiculous strike from long range.

True to Tottenham’s style under Jose Mourinho, it came from a quick, slick counter attack with star man Harry Kane the focal point.

As the ball came out to him after an Arsenal attack was cleared, he took two excellent touches before releasing Son down the left. From there, the South Korean dribbled inside and unleashed a powerful curling effort past Bernd Leno to make it 1-0.

This goal takes Son’s tally for the season to 13 in all competitions, with 10 coming in 10 Premier League matches.

Harry Kane then doubled Spurs’ lead just before the half time break with a thumping near post finish on his weaker left foot. The assist? Son, of course.
