Unai Emery's side trailed 2-1 at the break after Eric Dier's header and Harry Kane's penalty had stunned the hosts, who had themselves gone in front from the spot via Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
But they got a deserved win with three unanswered second-half goals, the first a pearler from Aubameyang and then a deflected Alexandre Lacazette strike before Lucas Torreira's late goal sealed the win.

9 mins: GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Spurs (Aubameyang)
Goal number 11 for Aubameyang in all competitions this season as he passes it to the keeper's right with Lloris diving the other way.
Totally deserved for Arsenal who have started much the brighter side.
11 mins: Chance Spurs!
From absolutely nowhere Spurs have an attack.
Alli makes a really clever lofted pass for Son to run on to and he takes on the Arsenal defenders and takes aim from an unlikely angle but still forces Leno into a save.
13 mins: CHANCE ARSENAL!
It should be 2-0 Arsenal after a great counter attack.
Aubameyang feeds Iwobi who takes an age on the ball and can't decide what to do with it.
They recycle the ball though and Kolasinac's cross causes all sorts of problems as it is deflected towards Aubameyang but the ball is a few centimetres behind him which doesn't allow him the best contact and Spurs clear...
18 mins: CHANCE ARSENAL!
Spurs AGAIN caught off guard!
Arsenal should really be 2-0 up and they'll know the threat Spurs still pose but this is wonderful so far.
A fantastic switch ball to Kolasinac is perfect and it's pulled back to Iwobi in the middle of the box.
He keeps his shot down well but Lloris saves.
Again, they go forward at pace and the ball comes to Bellerin in the box but his shot is blocked.
What a start from the Gunners.
20 mins: Spurs win themselves a corner after a promising looking break but it's cleared well.
They get back into the box and Son has another pop at Leno but the German stops it low and well.
25 mins:
What a fabulous 25 minutes of football we've been treated to so far (that is of course, unless you're a Spurs fan.)
They're still in this game though but they need to stifle Arsenal attacks much more.
So much joy down the left for the Gunners.
30 mins: GOAL! ARSENAL 1-1 Spurs (Dier)
IT'S ALL KICKING OFF!
Eriksen's free-kick is headed towards goal by DIer.
The ball squirms under Leno's hands and goes in.
Mere minutes have gone by since Spurs equalised and Holding has now made a huge error, sliding in on the onrushing Son.
Now Kane steps up to make it 2-1...
33 mins: GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham (Kane)
Absolutely ridiculous scenes here at the Emirates as the Englishman tucks it away.
Spurs haven't deserved anything from this game and in the matter of 4 minutes they've managed to take the lead.
I'm at a loss to explain how this is possible.
