Arsenal vs Tottenham live: Eze stars as Spurs slammed for lack of ‘courage’

Unsurprisingly, it’s Arsenal who proceed to use a lot of the stress, although the guests have stepped up the depth since that purpose.

Neither aspect has managed to style a clear-cut likelihood since then although.

GOAL! Oh my phrase, what a end that is from Richarlison!

Bentancur wins the ball on midway and it rolls to Richarlison not far out of the centre circle.

He spots Raya off his line and clips an inch-perfect lob over the Spaniard to convey Spurs again into it!

The Brazilian is clearly a Kenny McLean fan.

Spurs are nonetheless struggling to get out of their very own half as Xavi makes a poor problem on Timber.

The free-kick is available in from deep but it surely’s headed clear earlier than Odobert leads his aspect out of their half and wins a free-kick.

Spurs made a change at half-time, with Danso changed by Xavi Simons.

Arsenal are as soon as once more piling on stress, with Eze’s eyes lighting up because the cross is available in from Trossard, earlier than Romero does nicely to go away.

Eze is hoping to be the primary hat-trick scorer in a north London derby since 1978, apparently.

GOAL! That ought to be that!

Arsenal have a 3rd and it’s a brace for Eze!

Timber tries to string a move by means of and the rebound comes straight again to him. He squares it to Eze within the space and though his contact isnt the most effective, he will get it out of his ft earlier than stroking a beautiful end into the bottom-left nook.

Again underway on the Emirates! Can Spurs discover a reply to their dire first half, or will Arsenal proceed to dominate?

So, a dominant first-half show means Arsenal have complete management on this one.

Moments of brilliance from Merino, Trossard and Eze imply that the Gunners go into the break with a 2-0 lead that’s totally deserved.

Spurs haven’t threatened in any respect, failing to register a single shot within the opening 45, and it has been very poor in some ways from Frank’s aspect.

It solely appears to be like like going a method from right here, and we’ll convey you all of the updates from the second half quickly.

Gary Neville has vey little time for the Spurs method thus far this afternoon.

“Spurs must have some braveness on the ball. They’ve confirmed nothing in these 40 minutes, it has been fundamental,” he stated on Sky.

“It is mayhem – North London delight for Arsenal!

“I am completely happy for them, they deserve it. And so do Tottenham for what they’ve executed… these white shirts are like mannequins.

“To me, that is recreation over until Thomas Frank does one thing exceptional,” he added, highlighting how the guests have had zero photographs thus far this afternoon.

The referee brings the primary half to an finish and Arsenal have a deserved lead on the Emirates.

Arteta’s aspect have dominated from the beginning but it surely took a short while to search out the moments of actual high quality to interrupt the impasse earlier than Eze’s purpose leaves Spurs with a mountain to climb.

Not a single shot for the guests within the first half, and lots to ponder for Thomas Frank.
