Premier League: Kane is crowned King of North London

At the New White Hart Lane, you could be cheered like a Game of Thrones monarch. Harry Kane has won today, against Arsenal, the title of ‘King in the North’ of London. With his 12th goal in 11 Premier League games against the Gunners, the Englishman has become the derby’s all-time top scorer, while further sinking Arteta’s men into the hole in which they themselves have entered and consolidating the leadership of some spurs that, now, are beginning to function at the level that a team of José Mourinho was expected to do. The Portuguese dream continues.

Y continues thanks, for example, to Heung-Min Son, who was commissioned to open theto can with a real goal from outside the area in a play charged with electricity. The jump that he hits the ball from more than 25 meters made the ball unattainable for Leno when no gunner defense decided to overtake him. With his 10 goals in the Premier, he has already scored the same as all of Arsenal by now. A fact that is as revealing as it is worrying for an Arsenal increasingly concerned about the relegation zone than the one that gives access to European positions.

The South Korean was also able to extend his unlimited association with Kane in 46 when taking advantage of a counter so that the English exploded, from within the area, Leno’s squad, who could not do absolutely anything this time either. With this goal, there are already 31 goals scored by the couple, and they are only five away from becoming the most prolific in the history of the competition. The one who was portrayed was, however, Thomas Partey, who ignored the play to approach the band and tell Arteta that he had discomfort, which ended up causing a hole in the defensive system that the spurs took advantage of to kill the derby.

Mourinho: “Arteta is a very good coach”

JOsé Mourinho, Tottenham Hotspur coach, praised Mikel Arteta after defeating him in the North London derby and said the Spanish Arsenal manager is very “tactically smart”.

The Portuguese spoke on the British channel BBC after the match in which Tottenham took the three points against Arsenal and returned to the top of the table.

“Of course we are very happy. We controlled the game from defensive strength, and Son and Harry finished their chances. They created problems for us in the second half because they are a very good team. I don’t care where they are in the table, they are very good and Mikel is a very good coach, “said Mourinho.

“They are very good tactically and Mikel is smart,” he added.

Regarding the leadership, Mourinho pointed out that the fans of his team are enjoying the moment and that it is “fun” to spend another week at the top of the table. -EFE
