Harry Kane scored either side of Rob Holding being sent off for Arsenal for two bookable offences as Spurs led 2-0 at the break.

Son Heung-min added a third early in the second half to leave the race for the top four on a knife edge heading into the final two Matchweeks.

Spurs can move above Arsenal on Sunday when they host Burnley, who currently sit outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

Antonio Conte's side will hope to gain revenge after losing 1-0 at Turf Moor in the reverse fixture, but Spurs have scored nine goals in their last two home encounters with Burnley.

Son could pull level with Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot with one goal against the Clarets after scoring his 21st of the season on Thursday.

Arsenal will hope to respond when they travel to Newcastle United on Monday and produce a similar result to when they met earlier in the season, when they earned a 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium.

Both sides can still finish above third-placed Chelsea, but one point for the Blues over their remaining matches, at home to Leicester City and Watford, would likely see them secure a top-four finish due to their superior goal difference.

Two draws or one victory would confirm a spot in the top four for Thomas Tuchel's men.
