Video: Erik Lamela’s stunning piece of skill gives Spurs the lead against Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur have taken the lead in the North London derby after 31 minutes of action at the Emirates.

Arsenal had dominated the opening half hour of action and nearly went ahead when Sergio Reguilon gave the ball away cheaply and was almost punished with Emile Smith-Rowe unleashed a superb shot from range that hit the corner of the goalframe before bouncing clear.

However, it is Tottenham who have broken the deadlock after a wonderful piece of skill from Erik Lamela.

The ball arrived at the feet of the Argentine inside the penalty area and flicked the ball with his left foot into the bottom corner.
