This result brings the Spurs back to the top of the league. Arsenal are still down in 15th place with six losses in their first 11 league games.
Talking with BBC Sport After the game, Mourinho praised his team after a professional performance against rivals in North London.
“Of course, we are very happy. We control the game by being defensively solid. Sonny and Harry, your completion was amazing.
“In the second half they created problems, it’s a very good team. I don’t care about the table or where they are; they are very good. Mikel is a very good coach.
“We kept a clean sheet in the second half, which was the goal. Why expose ourselves trying to get more of the ball?
“They are very good tactically, Mikel is smart. Granit Xhaka fell between the bottom three, making it difficult for Harry Kane to press.
“We have played against City, Chelsea, Arsenal. If you get three points, four points in those games, it is not the end of the world, it is normal. We have scored seven points. The problem with the Premier League is that next is Crystal Palace and there is no guarantee that we will win.
“I think that the public and the fans at home are enjoying the moment, one more week we are at the top of the league. It is fun “.
