Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham came from a goal down to beat Arsenal 2-1 on Sunday. Alexander Lacazette’s superb goal was quickly cancelled out by a equalizer gifted Son during a defensive blunder by the Gunners.
The defeat allowed Spurs to overtake Arsenal whose hope of European football next season get further dented.
Toby Alderweireld’s 81st-minute header sealed a Premier League victory for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal in the first north London derby in their new stadium on Sunday.
The match appeared to be heading for a draw but Alderweireld claimed all three points for Spurs to move Jose Mourinho’s side above Arsenal into eighth place in the battle for local pride.
With three games left Tottenham have 52 points to Arsenal’s 50, but are seven points behind fourth-placed Leicester City.
Arsenal took the lead in spectacular fashion with Alexandre Lacazette’s 17th-minute pile-driver but they were pegged back almost immediately as Son Heung-min punished a defensive error.
Both sides were denied by the woodwork and Arsenal were in the ascendancy after the break before Tottenham’s strong finish sealed a third successive home win since the restart.
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, says he is confident of winning trophies at the club before his three-year deal expires.
Mourinho arrived in November after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked, but Spurs have already been knocked out of the Champions League and FA Cup during his time.
Spurs find themselves in ninth position in the Premier League table ahead of Sunday’s North London Deby, but Mourinho said he needs time before he can succeed at the club.
“How long it took for Jurgen [Klopp] and Liverpool?” “Four years, four seasons. Mourinho said.
“Buying one of the best goalkeepers in the world, buying one of the best centre-backs in the world and so on and so on and so on.
“I’m focused on my three-year contract. I believe that in my three-year contract we can win trophies. If we don’t, but the club does it in the new era if I stay here only for three years, I will be happy with that,” Mourinho said.
