Pape Matar Sarr helps Tottenham defeat Arsenal by 1-0

Pape Matar Sarr

Pape Matar Sarr scored from the halfway line as Tottenham punished a shaky performance by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya to win the first north London derby staged outside the UK 1-0 on Thursday.

Raya, who had already been caught in no-man's land twice as inswinging corners hit the post, was at fault again in the 45th minute when midfielder Sarr robbed left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly just inside the Arsenal half.

The Senegalese player looked up, saw Raya stranded way outside his penalty area and let fly to score in outrageous fashion from 50 yards out.
