LONDON (Reuters) - Toby Alderweireld's 81st-minute header sealed a 2-1 Premier League victory for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal in the first north London derby in their new stadium on Sunday.

The match appeared to be heading for a draw after Son Heung-min cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette's opener.

Victory maintained Mourinho's impressive record in home games against Arsenal -- he has now won six and drawn four -- and was a rare highlight for Tottenham in a mediocre season. Tottenham's Serge Aurier was guilty of a poor touch and then lost out in a 50-50 tackle with Granit Xhaka with the ball breaking to Lacazette who looked up and smashed a right-foot shot into the top corner.Sead Kolasinac's sloppy pass wrong-footed team mate David Luiz and Son was alive to the chance, going through to dink a cool finish over goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Tottenham were re-energised after the second-half drinks break, though, with Harry Kane bursting into the area and setting up Son who delayed his shot too long.
