Tottenham

Arsenal meted out their usual punishment to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at The Emirates with Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka all on ...

"From the first second I think we were the better team," Xhaka said. Tottenham began the second half in sloppy fashion, and when Bukayo Saka fired in a shot, Lloris parried it out to Romero who bundled the ball back towards his keeper, only for it to squirm out of the Frenchman's grasp just enough for Jesus to convert. It was a sweet moment for the Brazilian, whose fifth goal of the season sent a reminder to his national side's manager Tite, who left him out of the squad last month. "After we conceded we were struggling a little bit, but in the second half we were much better, and I am so happy to score my first derby goal and help the team to win." They are third with 17 points. Royal was then red-carded in the 62nd minute for a needless kick out at Martinelli deep in Arsenal's half, and five minutes later Xhaka swept in Arsenal's third to leave Tottenham reeling.

Saliba, Xhaka, Jesus or Partey - who gets your vote in our official online poll?

Tottenham fell to a 3-1 defeat away at Arsenal in a hugely disappointing afternoon for Antonio Conte's side.

See above. The first Premier League player to score 100 goals away from home. A fine showing. Didn’t have such luck with naughty tackle on Martinelli. Had to shuffle into his less preferred back-four role briefly after Emerson dismissal and was dragged out of position for Xhaka goal.

The north London bragging rights belong to Arsenal after a 3-1 win over Tottenham at the Emirates.The Gunners were the better team throughout and dese.

Further misery was awaiting Tottenham in the second half as Emerson Royal was sent off for committing an atrocious foul on Gabriel. Both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli made darting runs through the right and left flanks, respectively, to unsettle the Tottenham defense. Arsenal and Tottenham started the match with 4-2-3-1 and 3-4-2-1 formations, respectively. Saka cut into the box from the right flank and took a shot at goal that Lloris could not parry properly. Richarlison got the ball and was stopped illegally by Gabriel inside the Arsenal penalty box. [Harry Kane](https://fbref.com/en/players/21a66f6a/Harry-Kane) got the only goal for the visitors (31′).

The We’re back to the early stages of the first half. Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Penny to be a fly on the wall when he discusses the red card with Emerson. But the second half was nothing short of a disaster for them. We wanted to play the game, make chances. From the first second, we were the better team. In the first half we had opportunities.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte said Emerson Royal's red card in the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal "killed the game."

Sometimes you see situations that could be a red card, instead yellow card or no yellow card. For this reason, every part of this situation, in my opinion, has to be top." "The red card killed the game, this is truth, but not because we remained with 10 men but because [our] team [which was] really, really offensive and also in the four or five minutes to make the substitutions, we were so offensive that it was really difficult to defend and we conceded the third goal.

(4-2-3-1) Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhāes, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard (c), ...

William Saliba was masterful and is growing into a top-class defender, but the man of the match was undoubtedly Granit Xhaka, whose top-class performance and leadership skills fired the boys on to greater glories. And then, on the sixty-sixth minute, Thomas Partey found Gabriel Martinelli, who carried it along the edge of the box and left it for Granit Xhaka, who struck the ball low and hard and it was in the back of the net in the blink of an eye. Ben White was replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu with a couple of minutes left of the game, and shortly afterwards, Kieran Tierney was unlucky not to add to our tally with an excellent twenty-five yard shot, in which Hugo Lloris just about got his fingertips to it, to push it by his left-hand post for an Arsenal corner. Remember everyone, keep the faith, get behind the team and the manager, as this season is going to be crucial for our future success in all competitions. As half-time approached, Gabriel Jesus received a ball from Martin Ødegaard, and it looked like he was going to score a second goal, as he danced through the Spurs defence, but the Spurs goalie was on hand to gather the ball up and neutralise the chance. In time added on, game management came into play, and the closest we came to scoring a fourth was when Gabriel Martinelli fired a free-kick over the Spurs bar. We regrouped quickly, with Gabriel Jesus carrying it through the middle of the pitch but was unable to feed it through to Gabriel Martinelli, who was in a surefire scoring position. The second half went underway with us looking for a quick and sharp start pressurising the visitors in their own half, and sure enough, just four minutes after the restart, Bukayo Saka whipped in a strong shot, which was completely mishandled by Hugo Lloris; thankfully Gabriel Jesus was on hand to nick the ball and fire it home from point-blank range. We dominated possession so much, that the match was starting to resemble a training game; William Saliba received a yellow card for an unfortunate tackle, and with twelve minutes of the game remaining, Gabriel Jesus and captain Martin Ødegaard (who handed the coveted armband to Granit Xhaka) was replaced by Eddie Nketiah and Fabio Vieira and our domination continued seamlessly. A Richarlison effort brought out a superb reflex save from Aaron Ramsdale, and as Harry Kane was flagged for an offside effort on our goal, it served as a good lesson for our defenders not to be complacent in the face of such clear and present danger that the Spurs centre-forward presents. Our popular midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe is sidelined for three months due to a groin operation, and at the time of writing on the morning of the match, it remains to be seen if Kieran Tierney will be fit enough to participate in today’s match. We will, of course, be more than keen to eradicate the sad memory of the last match between us, and the best way to do that is by ensuring a victory against our old rivals from N17, who are currently a single point behind ourselves in the Premiership table this morning.

Alan Shearer has criticised Son Heung-min and said that he was really poor in possession for Tottenham against Arsenal.

“This is the easiest pass of the lot, or it should be. Conte’s hand was forced ahead of the derby with Dejan Kulusevski sustaining an injury. He doesn’t try to get into the box, Son. He should be busting a gut to get in there. “That should be a simple pass for a guy of his ability. And in truth, their supporters may have been expecting such a result from the early moments of the contest.

Amid calls for Antonio Conte to switch formation at Tottenham, Football London has claimed Yves Bissouma prevented this from happening.

That is down to him, and him alone. It’s reported how Bissouma returned to training far from being in peak condition and was even considered a doubt at one point. The former Brighton man, then, seems to have plenty of work ahead of him.

[Arsenal](/latest/arsenal-fc) star Aaron Ramsdale reportedly mocked [Tottenham](/latest/tottenham-hotspur-fc) fans during the north London derby on Saturday afternoon.

The former Nottingham Forest loan star has struggled for game time since completing a move to Spurs in the summer.

Kieran : Spurs losing, down to 10 men, make 5 substitutes in quick succession and Djed Spence STILL doesn’t get a game. Midfielder James Garner is yet to make his debut for Everton and was again an unused substitute in their 2-1 win over Southampton. Despite being one of the standout players in the Championship last season, Spence has found game time at Tottenham hard to come by this season. The other times, Spence has been an unused substitute, including in Saturday’s 3-1 North London Derby loss against Arsenal. After weeks of negotiations, Antonio Conte’s side completed the £12.5 million move in July with Spence signing a five-year contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. [Forest](https://www.nottinghampost.com/all-about/nottingham-forest-fc) were keen to make the temporary move from Middlesbrough permanent, but faced competition from Tottenham Hotspur, with Spurs able to offer the youngster Champions League football.
