Arsenal are running riot in the North London Derby at the Emirates, with Bukayo Saka adding a THIRD goal.

Tottenham have endured a rotten run as of late, but Arsenal are only just coming out the backend of what was a truly disastrous start to the Premier League season.

While Arsenal had a spring in their step heading into the contest, few would have expected the scenes which unfolded in the opening 45 minutes minutes of the North London Derby.

As the half-time whistle blew, Arsenal led by three goals to nil. Partly as a result of what has to be their best performance under Mikel Arteta, partly due to Tottenham’s habit of capitulation.

After goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Arsenal a two-goal buffer, a man with just the two names stepped up and delivered a third – Bukayo Saka.

And what about Harry Kane? It sums it all up for the Tottenham skipper, falling over the ball, turning over possession and having to see Arsenal add a third. Nightmare.
