HARRY KANE marked his return from injury with a goal for Tottenham in the north London derby against Arsenal.
The strike has been missing for seven weeks but was thrust into the starting XI at the Emirates by Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs lined up with an unconventional three-man defence and were made to pay in the first half when Kevin Wimmer headed into his own goal.
However, Kane ensured Tottenham remained in the game early in the second half after slotting home from the penalty spot to score his fifth derby goal.
Mousa Dembele was fouled in the box by Laurent Koscielny and Kane made sure he made his mark by firing past Arsenal goalie Petr Cech.
