Our man of the match: Tottenham (H)

Arsenal beat rivals Tottenham 4-2 on Sunday to move into the top four in the Premier League.

The Gunners went 1-0 up early on through a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty, but goals from Eric Dier and Harry Kane in short succession saw them go in 2-1 down at half-time.

Emery brought on Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette at half-time, and they proved to be the difference as Ramsey first set-up Aubameyang to equalise and then put it on a plate for Lacazette to make it 3-2.

Aubameyang then picked himself up an assist as he threaded the ball through for Lucas Torreira to score his first Arsenal goal.

Jan Vertonghen was sent off late on for Tottenham as he picked up his second yellow card for a hard tackle on Lacazette.

Picking a man of the match has been hard, with plenty of impressive performers for Emery’s side.

Lucas Torreira ran close, but our man of the match is… Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang!

He tucked his penalty away well, before delivering a devastating finish to make it 2-2 in the second-half.

The forward then capped off his display with a cute ball through to Torreira to round off the scoring late on.

Aubameyang never stopped running up front and was constantly looking to stretch the Tottenham defence and make things happen in the final third.

He was the difference between the two sides in the end, and is now the top goalscorer in the Premier League as it stands.
