LATEST NEWS: Video: Arsenal and Spurs players nearly clash after a rough tackle
The tension between the players in the North London derby has escalated following a dangerous tackle by Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber.
As expected, the Arsenal vs Spurs match has been anything but gentle, with both teams maintaining a high line and applying constant pressure.
Although Gunners fans were confident in their team winning all three games at the season’s start, the absence of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard has significantly impacted the game, with Arsenal lacking creativity in the final third.
Around the 30-minute mark, Pedro Porro was struck on the ankle as Timber’s foot rolled over the ball, halting the game.
Immediately, white-shirted Spurs players surrounded the Arsenal defender, leading to a confrontation, clearly showing Timber’s frustration with the challenge.
