Arsenal

With no home advantage (from last season) or five subs (from the next one), or a different VAR system, the result may have been different.

But it was a gamble, and although Leeds went on to win 3-0, leaving yourself with just two substitutions remaining for 70 minutes is risky. One consequence is that managers might be bolder in using their changes to remove players in danger of collecting a second yellow card. In that world, if Arsenal had specifically challenged the penalty decision, and the VAR had decided that it was, let’s say, only about 40 per cent a penalty, the decision might have been changed. And big decisions are probably more subjective — and so less obviously wrong — in football than in any comparable sport that has introduced a video referee. One was a temporary change, one was a permanent one and one was a temporary one that will become permanent. The temporary change was the bleak era of behind-closed-doors football.

Tottenham WILL now beat Arsenal to take the Premier League's last Champions League spot, says Gary Neville, with the 'lightweight' young Gunners 'capitulating' ...

'I think Tottenham will beat Burnley and Arsenal will have to win their last two matches - but I'm not sure they will. I always felt like this would be a special game because of what's on it, why it was cancelled earlier in the season and then what's at stake.' 'You'd want Tottenham's games - Burnley at home and Norwich away. He's methodical in his thinking and the patterns of play are there. 'Conte will ruthlessly go back to the edge of his own box. At that point, Arsenal did wilt.

Spurs produced a performance of poise and clear thinking against an Arsenal team who completely lost their nerve. Conte got his plan spot on.

It all contributed to the image of Arteta being as rattled as his players, with Conte and Spurs the ones completely in control of the situation. Holding was sent off 10 minutes after that opening goal (itself a consequence of Cedric trying and failing to get away with a little nudge on Son), and Spurs then did what Conte had urged a month ago. Spurs just kept doing what they had been doing, with Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg bossing the midfield and providing just the kind of calmness that was needed in such a potentially fraught occasion. Spurs’ South Korean forward is no saint, but he did it in such a way that was just about ambiguous enough not to be deemed worthy of any punishment. There were a couple of flashpoints early on when, in fairness, a frustrated Son lashed out with a bit of an elbow. And yet in their haste to try to wind up Spurs, they only succeeded in harming themselves.

I’m saying he was very quick to say that was a penalty." "Suddenly you don’t really see too many replays when there was a Spurs player that brought one down. "Sky didn’t really want to make much of that and maybe that was the commentary team going one way rather than the other.

Journalist Miguel Delaney has reported that there is a strong belief that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

Jesus has never really played week in and week out for a full season at Manchester City, and the prospect of being the first-choice striker at a big club such as Arsenal would be very appealing.

He's got four goals in his last four games as Mikel Arteta's men have beaten Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Leeds in a row. Spurs, meanwhile, face what is really a must-win game if they have hopes of a return to UCL. The Gunners are in fourth place with 66 points, holding a four-point lead over Spurs.

One concern is the amount of youth on the bench with Alfie Devine joining Dane Scarlett, Matthew Craig and Harvey White among a very young looking set of substitutes without much experience.

Arsenal will have their first choice attacking midfield supporting Eddie Nketiah who is the man in form. So much on the line for both! Nothing too serious, but it still is a tad sloppy to start for Spurs. Holding and Son have gotten into it twice already, and it's getting super heated as the ref breaks them up. Cedric makes contact to Son, it seems, and the ref has given it! The Gunners are down to 10 after Holding saw red. Loose ball in the box after a challenge on Kane, and the South Korean puts it away! It's Tottenham 2, Arsenal 0 through the first 45 minutes. Despite having ten men, there is a way back into things for Arsenal if they can continue to pressure. On Thursday in the North London derby, Spurs battered 10-man Arsenal 3-0 at home to pull within a point of the fourth-place Gunners with two games to go in the Premier League season. A win for Arsenal would have secured UCL qualification, but a lack of composure when most needed, combined with a smart and effective blueprint for Tottenham saw Spurs dominate from start to finish. Son makes it 3-0 to the hosts!

Arsenal's ill discipline under Mikel Arteta was highlighted yet again as Rob Holding was sent off during the first half of Thursday's north London derby.

As he was dismissed for two yellows, he will miss next week's trip to Newcastle but will be available to face Everton on the final day of the season. Holding was shown a second yellow for his elbow on Son but Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville felt he was lucky not to be given a straight red. In the 26th minute, Holding received his first yellow card, which was issued for an accumulation of fouls after he pulled Son down.

“You lose the football match in the conditions that we lost it, it's painful,” Arteta said.

Tottenham revived its hopes of beating Arsenal to the final Champions League qualification position by overwhelming its fierce north London rival in a 3-0 win in the Premier League on Thursday.

The Gunners control their Champions League destiny, but a lack of seasoned experience from Mikel Arteta and his players could still them up.

It would deny them the opportunity to recruit top players with Champions League money -- a potential move for City's Gabriel Jesus could be hit if they end up in the Europa League -- while the likes of Saka and Martinelli could prompt interest from the likes of Liverpool and City, who could offer elite-level football and the financial uplift that comes with it. The Norway international is a very good player, somebody who will be a central figure in Arsenal's future, but he is not yet experienced enough to lead a club such as Arsenal. The Arsenal manager can deploy Granit Xhaka at centre-half and hope that Ben White's hamstring injury is recovered sufficiently for him to start at Newcastle. The former Brighton defender was on the bench at Spurs, but Arteta chose not to risk his fitness with the game a lost cause by halftime. Odegaard's selection as captain in recent weeks when regular skipper Alexandre Lacazette is out of the starting line-up highlights the obvious shortcomings in Arteta's side -- a lack of seasoned experience in key areas. And with centre-half Rob Holding set to miss the Newcastle game through suspension after being sent off for two yellow cards -- both for fouls on Son Heung-min -- and Gabriel almost certain to be sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained in the final stages against Spurs, Arsenal have crucial defensive issues to address. Those three defeats against Palace, Brighton and Southampton -- games Arsenal should have won -- may yet see them miss out on Champions League football once again.

Harry Kane scored twice in the first half, with Son Heung-min adding a third, in a 3-0 win for Tottenham over 10-man Arsenal to boost their hopes of ...

But there was the sight yet again of a Spurs player bullying his opponent. When he addressed the penalty, there was little doubt as to the outcome. Arteta denied it but it was possible to wonder whether the occasion had been too hot for his team. Arteta was furious with the referee, Paul Tierney, as he had been for the penalty. But it was Holding versus Son that led to the most grievous damage for Arsenal. The pair had grappled on the floor in the early going – Holding seemingly wanting to leave a marker – and, when Son turned away from him on 26 minutes, beating him all ends up, Holding put his hands on him again.

They were certainly enough to carry Antonio Conte's side past an opponent who let the chance to secure Champions League football at the home of their great ...

Even if he is back for Monday's trip to Newcastle, the defense may well look even more of a mish mash with Gabriel having limped out late on clutching his hamstring. Gabriel did well to block Kane's shot and one would have thought there were enough bodies back to get in the way when the ball broke to Arsenal's tormentor. Son would inflict that crushing blow, the first pivotal instance in the game where Arsenal might not have been able to do any more defensively. Even amid all the chaos there were reminders of what might have been for Arsenal. A man light, their front four continued to probe. It was certainly a marginal call, but Cedric looked like he was more interested in competing with his man than claiming the ball when Dejan Kulusevski's cross came into the box. I have two options, I can lie to you, which I don't do, or I can be suspended and I really want to be on the touchline against Newcastle." In the space of 15 minutes, this game was decisively won. "I want to be on the touchline on Monday night. Arsenal were no less the architects of their own demise than the South Korean, all the more so as they had set the tempo out of the gates. It was that he was so bad at it. They were certainly enough to carry Antonio Conte's side past an opponent who let the chance to secure Champions League football at the home of their great rival slip through the fingers. The warning signs, however, were plain to see.

"Now, today I can complain about why I have to play on Sunday at 12 p.m. and Arsenal has to play on Monday night. We played against Leicester, Liverpool, Arsenal and now after only two days we have to play and we have to play the first game at 12 p.m." I repeat: it is only advice, nothing else because he is very good."

I just wanted to keep playing, I just wanted to continue to play.” “Obviously I want to play always,” Son said. If you remember, Arsenal did well to postpone this game in an incredible way when only one player had Covid. I didn’t forget this because it made us a bit angry. The result loads the pressure on Arsenal ahead of their trip to Newcastle on Monday night. He needs to be more calm. Kane added another and Son Heung-min completed the scoring for Spurs in a resounding 3-0 win that keeps alive their hopes of pipping Arsenal for fourth place.

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has admitted that he was unhappy with Antonio Conte's decision to substitute him off during Thursday's 3-0 win over Arsenal.

"I wanted to keep playing. On Tottenham's victory, he added: "It's always good to win, but especially this derby. I have to accept it.

Antonio Conte told Mikel Arteta to stop complaining after the Arsenal boss expressed dismay at the referee following the North London derby.

"But if we want to complain, we have a lot of possibility to complain about why I have to play on Sunday at 12 p.m. and Arsenal has to play Monday at night," he said. I think that he has to be calm and try to continue to work because he is very good but to listen to a coach complain a lot of times is not good. "I think that he has to be focused more to his team and not to go to complain because he has just started this work. I repeat: it is only advice, nothing else because he is very good. If we want to complain, we have the possibility every game to speak about the referee, the decision, about a postponed game," he continued. You can ask the referee to come in front of the camera to explain his decisions.

“I am allowed to give my interpretation of what happened in the game but I don’t know how to lie. Ben White was only fit enough for the bench and despite having stripped off, Mikel Arteta decided not to bring him on before the break. Ben Davies was forced to take a yellow of his own when robbed by Bukayo Saka and sprayed an ill-advised pass across his own backline that nearly gifted an equaliser. Just seven minutes later, the Arsenal defender knocked Son over again and Holding was dispatched to leave the Gunners, already trailing, in deep, deep trouble. “Cedric just steps across Son and he’s not playing the ball.

“We knew tonight, there had to be only one result. We had concentraton, and had the right calm and positive pressure.” Arsenal was responsible for its own downfall in a way, with full back Cedric Soares barging into Son at the back post for the penalty that Kane rolled into the corner in the 22nd minute. Son moved one goal behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the race to be the league’s top scorer by curling home the third goal from inside the area in the 47th after Kane had been tackled just as he was about to shoot on the turn. Holding connected with the face of Son, who slumped to the ground, and was shown a second yellow card in the 33rd. Harry Kane scored twice — including one from the penalty spot — and Son Heung-min added the other just after halftime on Thursday to move Tottenham one point behind fourth-place Arsenal, which had center back Rob Holding sent off in the 33rd when the score was 1-0. Tottenham revived its hopes of beating Arsenal to the final Champions League qualification position by overwhelming its fierce north London rival in a 3-0 win in the Premier League.
