Arsenal FC were Outgunned by Tottenham at White Hart Lane, Arsenal look like a team being left behind, writes Adam Bate.

“We wanted to win more than them,” Man of the match Jan Vertonghen agreed.
The five players who ran the furthest all wore Tottenham shirts. No Arsenal player coming close to Dele Alli’s 98 sprints.
