Tottenham clinched a narrow 1-0 victory over bitter rivals Arsenal in a pre-season friendly on Thursday. Scorers: Sarr 45'The North London clubs battled it out at Kai Tak Sports Park as preparations

The Spurs midfielder scored the game’s only goal in the 45th minute, spotting David Raya off his line and lobbing him from a long, long way out. There was a decent tempo to the game in the first half but both sides lost their rhythm a little in the second.

Arsenal dominated the early stages in the third and final friendly of their pre-season tour of Asia, but they were fortunate not to fall behind to their bitter foes in Hong Kong. Pedro Porro’s teasing corner crashed directly into the far post as miscommunication in the penalty area almost proved costly for the Gunners.
