Arsenal moved to within four points of league leaders Liverpool after a 2-1 win over Tottenham

Well, that's more like it, isn't it?

Arsenal found its goal-scoring boots in a 2-1 win over Tottenham, which eased the pressure on Mikel Arteta and brought his team closer to league leaders Liverpool.

After going behind to Son Heung-min's strike after 25 minutes as the Gunners dominated the opening stages, Arteta's team clicked into gear and scored twice in four minutes in the first half to overturn the deficit and take a lead into halftime they wouldn't relinquish.

Dominic Solanke's own goal and Leandro Trossard's well-taken effort saw the Gunners finally get the rewards for their forward half dominance.

Here are three takeaways from Arsenal's 2-1 win over Spurs.

Lewis-Skelly impresses yet again

Right, is it time to have a conversation that Myles is the first-choice left-back? Because it feels like it's heading that way, even when Riccardo Calafiori is fit.

Against Spurs, Lewis-Skelly was again at his best as he handled the pressure and occasion of a north London derby with ease, something that can't be said for some players over the years.

The biggest positive for Myles is that he isn't afraid to get forward, and he was progressive with his passes and was supremely efficient with the ball at his feet.

We haven't "just" found another one, we might have found "the" one, folks.
