Arsenal moved above neighbours Tottenham and into the Premier League’s top four after winning an enthralling north London derby that was overshadowed by trouble in the stands.
The Gunners ran out 4-2 winners in a memorable meeting at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, with Metropolitan Police afterwards confirming there were seven arrests made.Press Association Sport understands one of those arrests came after a banana skin was hurled from the away end as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrated scoring an early penalty in front of the Tottenham fans.
There were also six arrests for public order offences – at least two of which are believed to be Arsenal supporters who lit smoke canisters during the match.Aubameyang had opened the scoring before an Eric Dier header and a Harry Kane spot-kick sent Spurs in ahead at half-time.The Gabon forward went on to equalise, with Arsenal wrapping up the points through Alexandre Lacazette and Lucas Torreira strikes.
