Tottenham Hotspur dominated Arsenal to a 1-0 victory on Saturday in front of a massive crowd at Wembley Stadium.
Harry Kane scored in the 50th minute after guiding a header into the bottom-left corner to beat Arsenal keeper Petr Cech. A beautiful, sweeping cross by Ben Davies came into the center of the box, and Kane beat out two Gunners defenders to score his 23rd goal of the Premier League season.

The win moved Tottenham up to third in the Premier League standings, but Chelsea and Liverpool could knock them back down to fifth with wins of their own this weekend.
Arsenal had chances late to scratch out a point, but substitute Alexandre Lacazette failed to convert two golden opportunities.
The loss kept Arsenal six points behind Liverpool for the final Champions League qualifying spot, meaning the Gunners' best chance at returning to the top European competition could be through winning this season's Europa League, just like Manchester United last year.
