Pape Matar Sarr’s spectacular strike settles first North London derby played outside UK, as 49,975 pack into Kai Tak Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal 1-0 in a barnstorming contest in front of a febrile and record-breaking crowd in Hong Kong on Thursday night.

Pape Matar Sarr scored a fabulous winning goal befitting the first North London derby played outside the UK. After 45 minutes, he stole the ball from Myles Lewis-Skelly in the middle of the pitch, spied David Raya stranded out of his goal and flighted a picture-perfect 45-yard finish over the helpless keeper.

If Sarr gained points with Spurs fans for the goal, he earned a few more with his celebration in front of the Arsenal loyalists filling the North Stand.
