Tottenham will reach Premier League top four over Arsenal - I'd put money on it, says Gary Neville

 Tottenham were 3-0 winners against Arsenal in Thursday's crucial North London derby; Harry Kane scored twice with Heung-Min Son adding the third; Rob Holding was sent off early on; Spurs have closed the gap on Arsenal to a point in the race for the Champions League


On the latest Gary Neville Podcast, the Sky Sports pundit says he would put money on Tottenham reaching the top four over Arsenal after a huge win in the North London derby.

A victory for Mikel Arteta's side on Thursday would have seen them secure Champions League football over their nearest rivals, but some rash decisions early on ultimately cost them the game.

Cedric Soares' foul on Heung-Min Son inside the area saw Harry Kane convert from the penalty spot. The Spurs striker scored his second after Rob Holding had been sent off for two yellow cards

Son then added a Tottenham third shortly after the break, taking the hosts to within one point of Arsenal with two Premier League games to play and fourth spot very much up for grabs.

Reflecting on the game, Neville described it as one of the best atmospheres he has commentated on with plenty on the line at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - and gave his prediction on who will finish in fourth.

He told the Gary Neville podcast: "After 1-0, this crowd were all over the place - it was mayhem after the first goal. At that point, Arsenal did wilt. They capitulated in that part of the game.
