Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham
He seemed to be trying to prevent the game being restarted.
Arsenal have it all to do here now, despite their domination, they trail in the North London derby.
Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham
The cauldron of noise has now turned into a North London library.
As a cross comes in, Son takes it on the volley and shows great technique to stroke it into the bottom corner of the goal.
It did seem to take a slight deflection on the way through, not that it will matter to the visitors.
Goal - Son Heung-min (Tottenham)
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
As a corner comes in, Arsenal fail to deal with it and it drops to Kulusevski.
He skips past his man and has a sight of goal but goes for the near post and Raya parries it behind for another corner.
That is the difference between a decent Premier League player and a world class one right there.
The Spurs winger should have been looking to shoot into the far corner there.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
The Tottenham keeper is making Raya look like Pirlo his passing range.
Spurs counter and a dangerous ball into the back post almost finds Solanke but Saliba puts it behind for a corner.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
He seems to feel confident with the ball at his feet but every game he has played in for Spurs so far, he has got himself into trouble either dwelling on the ball or playinng a loose pass.
All that matters so far is that it has not cost his side a goal.
Around the grounds - half time
Not many goals about this evening - just Alexander Isak doing what he does best.
The Toon forward continues his remarkable scoring stream, slamming in from the edge of the box just before the break to give Newcastle the lead over Wolves.
Elsewhere, we're still waiting for an opener at Everton and Leicester.
Everton 0-0 Aston Villa
Leicester 0-0 Crystal Palace
Newcastle 1-0 Wolves
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
Arsenal have had a lot of practice at these already in this game, despite only 17 minutes having been played.
Odegaard swings it in deep but Kinsky punches clear.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
His follow through seemed to catch Partey, although the midfielder did make the most of it.
It is almost like Arteta has trained his players with the approach 'if you feel any contact, go down like you've stepped on an IED'.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
Partey had the goal at his mercy but as he opened up his body to shoot, Bergvall was able to head it clear.
Tottenham are struggling to get out of their own half currently.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
Kinsky is wise to the tactic and standing firm to punch clear.
The pressure is taken off the visitors as the referee awards them a free-kick on the halfway line.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
Kinsky does well to block at the near post, giving the hosts another corner in the early stages.
Wimbledon, I mean Arsenal, look to capitalise from another set-piece.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
The visitors last won here fifteen years ago, that is quite a baffling stat.
Sterling gets down the wing and looks to cross but Gray blocks at the expense of a corner.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
It has been one-way traffic since the kick-off.
Tottenham are just looking to survive the early onslaught.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
Lewis-Skelly threads it through the middle for Sterling, who has a free run on the Tottenham goal.
Kinsky comes charging off his line and it is almost as if the former Chelsea winger spotted him and went into the challenge half-hearted.
Toon vs Wolves update
Still goalless at St James' Park, where goal machine Alexander Isak has just gone close.
Fascinating tactical battle so far at St James’ with Wolves’ high-press leaving Newcastle bamboozled at times, writes SunSport's Gary Stonehouse.
Jacob Murphy has had Toon’s only two efforts on goal so far, while Goncalo Guedes could have put the visitors ahead but dragged his shot wide.
One man on the pitch is shining brightest under the lights though and that’s Anthony Gordon, but we’ll have to wait and see whether he can conjure up some magic for a breakthrough.
Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham
In his first two games for the club, he has kept two clean sheets, another tonight would be a dream start to his Tottenham career.
Sterling is fouled in a wide position and referee awards a free-kick.
Rice swings it into the danger area but the visitors just about manage to clear their lines.
Kick-off: Arsenal vs Tottenham
We are underway at The Emirates.
The battle of North London, with so much at stake for both.
Tottenham get the game started.
Forwards with chance to make their mark
Kai Havertz and Dominic Solanke lead the line for the respective teams in tonight's North London derby.
Neither has scored as many goals as the fans would have liked to see and still have someway to go to justify their monumental price tags.
Scoring the winner against their local rivals could go some way to giving them cult status with the fans.
Slow start
No goals as yet in the early kick-offs, with Villa's Morgan Rogers going closest to breaking the deadlock.
His rasping drive was well saved by Jordan Pickford - but Moyes' men have struggled to get out of first gear at Goodison Park.
Everton 0-0 Aston Villa
Leicester 0-0 Crystal Palace
Newcastle 0-0 Wolves
Spaniard calm before big clash
The Arsenal manager spoke with TNT Sports about the North London derby and taking advantage of Liverpool and Nottingham Forest's draw last night:
We all love these games, especially at home. That is the moment of the season, you have the chance to close the gap. Take things as they come, make the most out of it. We want to recreate the feeling that we can make a lot of our fans very happy.
Mikel Arteta
Gunners massive favourites for win
The bookies cannot see anything but a win for Arsenal in the North London derby this evening.
Arsenal - 3/8
Draw - 17/4
Tottenham - 6/1
All match odds brought to you by Betway.
Huge game for both sides in North London
Arsenal cannot afford any result other than victory this evening if they are dreaming of a title race still.
Defeat to their local rivals would be a serious dent to Mikel Arteta's hopes of challenging for the Premier League title.
Ange Postecoglou has come under criticism for his tactics and attacking style, however, you feel tonight that could be the key to any success they get at The Emirates.

Isak is looking to become Alexander the Great tonight after overcoming his hamstring issue to start for Newcastle.
The Swedish star is aiming to eclipse Alan Shearer and team-mate Joe Willock by becoming the first Toon star to score in eight straight Prem matches.
The Mags are also hoping to make it nine wins on the bounce - but a resurgent Wolves stand in their way.
