Harry Kane was the scourge of Arsenal again as his fine second-half header gave Tottenham a 1-0 victory in the north London derby at Wembley
Kane's 101st Premier League goal came from a superb towering header from 10 yards after 49 minutes from Ben Davies' cross, his seventh goal in seven league games against Arsenal
Spurs had a flurry of chances to add a second as Kane headed just wide, Christian Eriksen hit the woodwork from a free-kick and both Erik Lamela and Dele Alli spurned one-on-one opportunities
Alexandre Lacazette missed a fine last-gasp chance for Arsenal, but the result means the Gunners have not beaten Spurs away from home in five attempts
 Spurs go up to third, four points behind second-place Man Utd
During a first half lacking in opportunities, Kane came closest with a free header inside the area, nodding over Petr Cech's bar, before Spurs came out firing after the break
In front of a record Premier League attendance, Kane made amends for his earlier miss within four minutes, towering above Laurent Koscielny from Davies' left-wing cross to head superbly into the bottom left corner past Cech
Kane came close with another header moments later, glancing wide in acres of space, before his fierce volley from 18 yards was beaten away well by Cech
Spurs were fully on top when Eriksen's free-kick from the edge hit the bar via the outstretched hand of Cech, while Arsenal created a rare opportunity at the other end as Jack Wilshere's curling effort from 20 yards forced a fine save from Hugo Lloris
Alli was put through on goal by Erik Lamela with 20 minutes remaining, but poked inches wide of goal as Cech came rushing out, and Cech then did well to block Lamela's effort while one-on-one at an acute angle
The onslaught continued as Cech beat away Kieran Trippier's half-volley at the far post, and as full-time approached, Lamela dragged an effort wide from an angle after again being found free behind a lacklustre Arsenal defence
Arsenal did have two last-gasp opportunities, but sub Lacazette first blazed over on the volley from 12 yards, before poking just wide after drifting behind the Spurs defenders
Who else? He's been the top performer in this derby several times, and Kane came up trumps once again at Wembley
His header was superb - head and shoulders above Laurent Koscielny - while Arsenal's appeals for a foul were waved away by Anthony Taylor
Kane could, and perhaps should, have a hat-trick to his name, but his all-round forward play in the second half allowed Spurs to open up their opponents with ease
"If we analyse the 90 minutes the team played so well
 In the second half, the first 25, 30 minutes we played amazing football, created a lot of chances and we had the capacity to push them and create many more chances
 It was an amazing game
 Our players deserve the full credit and I would like to congratulate them
 Now we must keep going
" "This was, of course, a game we couldn't afford to lose
 That makes it (the top four) difficult now, but as long as we have a mathematical chance we have to fight
 There was more at stake than just a derby, I said that before the game and that's why it's so disappointing to lose a game the way we lost it
"Spurs now go to Juventus on Tuesday in their Champions League last 16 first leg, while Arsenal are in Sweden to face Ostersund in their Europa League round of 32 first-leg clash on Thursday evening
