Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League goals and latest updates as Kai Havertz scores again for Gunners

And that’s the whistle for the first half – sensational from Arsenal in terms of both solid defensive positional play and also a really clinical touch in the box.

Spurs have a lot of work to do at the interval to get themselves back into the match – and back into the top-four chase.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a lot more morose and quiet now than it was 45 minutes ago. What looked a potentially promising start from them has turned into a dismal first half.

Maddison feeds Kulusevski as they look to finish the half on a positive note but Porro’s shot is awkward, it’s half-cleared and Romero eventually fouls Havertz.

Massive chance for Son and he has to do better. One ball over the to puts the skipper in and although the centre-backs are chasing him, he’s clear to shoot against Raya – and smashes miles over the bar.

Six minutes added on at the end of the first half.

Well, what a disappointment for Tottenham. They were pretty good in the first 30 minutes of the match, but lacked a finish, were denied by VAR and have been utterly appalling at the back on set plays.

Awful 45 minutes for them as a result and a lot for Postecoglou to sort out.

Arsenal fans, on the other hand, are very much enjoying themselves and their team is laying down the gauntlet to Man City ahead of their evening match.

It’s three for Arsenal! Another corner, this time from the left and Kai Havertz rises unmarked to nod in at the near post – poor from Spurs on the set piece again but the Gunners are in dreamland!

Hojbjerg has been pretty loose even apart from his own goal and he’s just lost the ball to Saka and hurt himself in the process.

Here’s that Saka goal to enjoy – unless you support Spurs – after a quick break following Spurs appeals for a penalty.

Pause for breath as there are two down injured. Odegaard has a head clash and needs treatment; Werner is down too and after a check on his knee is being replaced by Brennan Johnson.

Amid all that there was a VAR check for a penalty for Spurs but neither challenge on Kulusevski nor Maddison were anything like enough for a foul. On we go, 2-0 to Arsenal.

Slightly odd stat there considering it was almost 1-1, seven shots in the match but none on target yet!

Spurs haven’t got Son into the game too much yet. Maddison goes down in the box but that was never a foul or penalty. Havertz launches it long to Saka…and now there is a shot on target as he’s bent one right into the bottom corner!! 2-0 to Arsenal on the break!

Back to one nil to the Arsenal – Van de Ven is ruled offside by a small margin!

Gabriel was the last man but he’s just the wrong side. No goal.

Kulusevski drives on and belts a shot at goal – deflected wide by Saliba’s block.

The corner comes in and ricochets around, Porro shoots from the edge of the box and it’s deflected to Van de Ven who powers in a drive past Raya to equalise!

Buit hold on, this is going to be very close with a VAR check – he’s right in line with the last defender as the shot comes in initially.
