Match report: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Premier League: “New season, same scoreline, tantalising prospects. Just over a year ago Arsenal blew Tottenham away here and, while the outcome was in doubt for slightly longer this time, they were no less worth the margin of victory in doing it all again,” writes Nick Ames from the Emirates Stadium.
Gabriel Jesus: The Arsenal striker has been chatting to BT Sport following his team’s win over Tottenham Hotspur. “To be honest it’s the second time I scored in a derby,” he tells Des Kelly. “The first was for Brazil against Argentina. I’m very happy, I want to score in every game and the way team played from the first minute showed how we wanted to play. We deserved to win, I don’t know how many chances we created. I am feeling at home from the first day because of the guys, the staff, the club and it’s helped a lot. I’m really happy here and we are in a good way.”
Meanwhile in Scotland: Antonio Kolak scored twice as Rangers swatted Hearts aside 4-0 at Tynecastle on a busy day of Scottish Premiership action.

Premier League clockwatch
With the international break in the rear view mirror and the World Cup looming on the horizon, a jam-packed October schedule begins with a fascinating afternoon’s action. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur got proceedings under way at the Emirates in the first North Lond derby of the season, where the sides are level at one goal apiece at half-time after a Harry Kane penalty cancelled out Thomas Partey’s opener.
Later on, Roberto De Zerbi faces one of the stiffest top flight tests imaginable when he attempts to mastermind victory over Liverpool at Anfield in his first match in charge of Brighton. Meanwhile in London, Fulham will hope to continue their good start to the season against a Newcastle side looking for their first win since the opening day of the season, while Graham Potter takes charge of his Chelsea for the first time in the Premier League at Crystal Palace.
On the south coast, Bournemouth host Brentford in the first ever top flight match between the two side, while Southampton entertain Everton at St Mary’s in today’s other three o’clock kick-off. Later this afternoon, West Ham will attempt to jump-start their season when they take on Wolves at the London Stadium. We’ll bring you line-ups, news of all the goals as they go in and keep a roving eye on proceedings in the EFL.
