Arsenal were 3-2 winners over Tottenham in the North London derby to keep their Premier League title challenge alive and Ben White played an unusual role in the Gunners’ first goal.
Spurs have struggled from set-pieces all season, while Mikel Arteta’s men have been the total opposite.
Therefore, it was fitting that the first goal of the match came from a corner as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg headed the ball into his own net from a Bukayo Saka cross.
Before the ball was sent in Arsenal fans will love what Ben White was doing to distract Guglielmo Vicario in the Spurs goal. The Gunners defender was trying to loosen the Italian’s gloves and it was clear that the 27-year-old did not like it.
