The Gunners fought back from Heung-min Son’s opener against the run of play to run out 2-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night thanks to Dominic Solanke’s own goal forced by Gabriel and a quick-fire effort from Leandro Trossard.

That victory over fierce rivals Spurs saw Arsenal leapfrog in-form Nottingham Forest back into second place in the Premier League table and move within four points of leaders Liverpool.

The Reds had initially stayed six points clear at the top-flight summit after substitute Diogo Jota scored just 22 seconds after coming on to cancel out Chris Wood’s opener and secure a hard-fought 1-1 tie at Forest on Tuesday evening.
