Laid on chance for Nketiah with superb technique. Gabriel Martinelli – Started brightly, causing Doherty problems with his pressing and movement. Gave Sessegnon nightmares in another fine performance. Bukayo Saka – Faded after having a hand in both Arsenal goals. But they deserved nothing here. As they always do. Harry Kane – Barely had a sniff in the first half before forcing Ramsdale into a couple of saves. Squandered several openings and was denied by Ramsdale. Ryan Sessegnon – Run ragged by Saka and his deflection deceived Lloris for opener. Cristian Romero – Failed to close down Odegaard for Arsenal’s second goal, allowing midfielder space to shoot. Did save crucially from Nketiah. Hugo Lloris – Had a nightmare for Arsenal’s opener and then beaten from range by Odegaard.

Tottenham news: Spurs were criticised after a difficult first half against Arsenal in the North London Derby, which culminated in going two goals behind to ...

There was a feeling brewing that it would be a massive result for Spurs to get in at 1-0, I think it would be a result for them to get in at 2-0 and still give them some type of chance, Conte some type of chance, to have a word at half-time and get them going. However, the performance gave them little to be encouraged by, as summarised by Neville in his assessment of the clash. Spurs are playing like little boys out there, and Arsenal look the real deal. It was a score line that summed up the first half for Spurs, who have been used to such scenes across their whole season so far. That dominance continued, with everything going through the right with Saka causing plenty of problems. Spurs started out with some intensity, but that soon fizzled out as the away side took a grip on the game.
