Tottenham defeated bitter rivals Arsenal on Thursday 1-0 during a friendly in Hong Kong thanks to an insane Pape Sarr goal.
The Pape Sarr goal vs Arsenal was the game’s lone goal and boy was it a beauty. The Spurs midfielder doesn’t score often for the club, but he scored an unforgettable goal on Thursday.
Moments before halftime Sarr punished some poor play from Arsenal and caught goalkeeper David Raya way out of position. Sarr unleashed a long-range missile from midfield to give his side the lead.

We would love to say this is a candidate for “Goal of the Season”, however the season technically hasn’t begun yet. The strike won’t even count toward Sarr’s career statistics meaning this amazing finish was simply for the love of the game.
The night ended on a humorous note as Spurs half-heartedly lifted a trophy for their victory while the Gunners were forced to watch.
