Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was outstanding early on, making crucial saves to deny Dejan Kulusevski, while Spurs’ keeper Guglielmo Vicario produced a brilliant stop to thwart Kai Havertz’s header.

Tensions flared just before halftime as players clashed after Jurien Timber’s challenge on Pedro Porro, setting the tone for a nervy second half.

Gabriel made the decisive breakthrough in the 64th minute, slipping past Cristian Romero to power home Bukayo Saka’s corner past Vicario.
