Sarr stimulates halfway while the Spurs beat rivals arsenal in pre-season

Pope Matar Sarr scored halfway while Tottenham punished a fragile performance of the Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya to win the first derby in northern London outside the United Kingdom 1-0 on Thursday.

Raya, who had already been caught up in the country of No-Man twice while the Inswing corners hit the post, was again in fault in the 45th minute when Sarr stole Myles Lewis-Skelly just inside the half of Arsenal.

The Spurs midfielder looked up, saw Raya failed far outside his penalty surface and left to scandalously mark 50 meters.

Nominally a “friendly” of pre-season, there was no love lost on the ground between the bitter rivals.

The plated stolen and the temperatures fantastic in a fiercely disputed confrontation in front of a closed window crowds of 49,975 under the roof in the air conditioned Kai Tak stadium in Hong Kong.

Arsenal started the strongest, but it was Tottenham who hit the woodwork three times in a frenzied first half and deserved their advance at the break.

Arsenal besieged Tottenham’s goal at the start of the second half, but the new manager Thomas Frank did his defense well and the Gunners had trouble breaking.

Gabriel Martinelli managed to find an opening on 58 minutes, but turned reversed on the bar 14 meters.

Arsenal brought Leandro Trossard and the new signature of Martin Zubimendi, who almost marked with his first touch when his shot was deflected on the bar.

A huge joy increased when his son Heung-Min was presented by Tottenham in the 75th minute.

It was followed by an even greater ovation when the new striker Viktor Gyokerres also left the bench for his debut of Arsenal with 13 minutes to do.
