Lukas Podolski (M) fires Arsenal ahead in the match

BBC

Arsenal benefited from Emmanuel Adebayor's sending off to secure a comeback victory over Tottenham and move above them in the Premier League.

Adebayor tapped Spurs in front against his old club but was dismissed for a high and late tackle on Santi Cazorla, reports the BBC.

Per Mertesacker headed the hosts level before strikes from Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud before half-time.

Cazorla slotted in and although Gareth Bale drilled home to pull one back, Theo Walcott sealed the points late on.
