In front of the largest crowd in Premier League history of 83,222 at Wembley Stadium, Tottenham secured a 1-0 win over rivals Arsenal in the North London Derby.
Harry Kane's header in the 49th minute put Mauricio Pochettino's side in front and the result could have been heavier for the hosts with many good scoring chances in the second half.
The win lifted Tottenham into third place in the Premier League before Liverpool and Chelsea's fixtures on Sunday and Monday respectively.
Spurs are now unbeaten in 12 matches across all competitions heading into Tuesday night's showdown at the Allianz Stadium.
