The rivalry between the two sets of players in the North London derby has reached a breaking point following a dangerous challenge from Jurrien Timber of Arsenal.
Unexpectedly for no one, Arsenal and Spurs’ match has not been for the timid, with both sides using a high line and relentless pressing.
Even though the supporters of the Gunners would have backed their team to win all three games at the beginning of the season, Declan Rice and Marin Odegaard’s absences have drastically altered the game, with the Gunners lacking the computer in the last third.
Just after the half-hour mark, Pedro Porro was caught on the ankle by Timber’s foot rolling over the ball, bringing the match to a close.
The Arsenal defender was quickly encircled by white jerseys as both teams engaged in combat, making it evident that he was not pleased with the challenge.
