Gabriel Magalhães scored the winning goal as Arsenal defeated city rivals Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in a Premier League game on Sunday.

After a goalless first half, it was his 64th-minute goal that saw the Gunners come out on top in a fiery north London derby.

Arsenal were without captain Martin Odegaard and key midfield Declan Rice through injury and suspension respectively.

David Raya excelled in the early stages to keep Spurs at bay with fine saves from Dejan Kulusevski while Guglielmo Vicario was also at his best to keep out Kai Havertz’s header.

There was an altercation late in the first half following Jurien Timber’s challenge on Pedro Porro, setting the stage for a tense second half.

Gabriel brought it all to rest after 64 minutes, escaping the attentions of Cristian Romero to rise and power Bukako Saka’s corner high past Vicario.
