I still think City have a draw in them, maybe not today but who knows.

Also not that it was mentioned once in the game but spurs had 2 weeks ff before this game, and between them playing last and this game we’d played 4 times including a double header v Bayern and a London derby midweek v Chelsea. Spurs should have absolutely been fresher in the second half. The narrative will be about Arsenal ‘almost choking’ when it should be a) brilliant mental strength to see that out in one of the toughest away games and b) spurs being so pathetic to be 3-0 down and offering nothing to get back in it |

Couldn’t stand sky sports for that today, the entire narrative they had pre written was about us choking, they were desperate for it. How did Richarlison get away with that char he straight at Gabriel - nasty piece of work. The ref was very kind to us today. |

Also, in terms of ‘also gave it away’ was there any actual chances Spurs had after they got the second. It was pressure but it wasn’t ever looking like ready to concede |

We were better in the in the second half and conceded two. We had opportunities to bury them, and yet conceded two, one silly and one unlucky. Apart from those two, Spurs didn't have much threat in the second half. |

Havertz was terrific today, goal and assist in a massive away game. Held the ball well, won fouls, moved us up the pitch. Saka more than won his battle against Davies who could have been booked much earlier than he was. Tactics were good, there was no need to get involved in a basketball style match with spurs, let them have more of the ball than we normally would away from home and wait for the gaps to appear behind their weak back line, they are a tweak that has conceded 50+ goals in the league giving up chances and goals from set pieces is their norm. The goals we gave them are not the norm for us. |

" Claimed all the crosses " he did what any run of the mill goalie should do . Raya gives me the heebie jeebies , he often does that little ball trap then stands on it and does a stupid little Hokey Cokey rolling it back and forth then punts it upfield at the last possible moment , sort of game of chicken with the opposition ......  as you can guess I'm not particularly enamoured with the guy

When you look at Raya’s error he’s clearly caught in two minds right up the point he is in the motion of kicking it. It’s like a golfer chunking a shot. Like he’s almost pulling out of the kick as he kicks the ground first then just chips it to Romero |

The goals we gave them are not the norm for us. Apart from his attacking contrinution, Saka was our best outlet and held possession brilliantly in the second half, one of his best performances of the season. Havertz was superb but I would have liked to see Jesus coming on at some point. All those games were showing in Havertz' legs by the end. |

Shifted club midway through swing. |

We were happy to meet with the win. If someone said 5 goals were going to be scored in this game I'd guess us 4-1 or 5-0. Tottenham fans will tell themselves and anyone who'd listen that if the extra time was longer and this, that or the other call went their way, they'd have won if not drawn. Spurs are a much better team than Man Utd but I think we'll have a tougher time there. We simply do not do well there no matter how bad they are. I think had we played Martinelli through the middle in the final 10 minutes or so of the game we'd have possibly gotten him either one on one with their keeper or in a position where they'd foul him and be sent off. |

Raya has saved us from the opposition scoring more times than I can recall. I'll forgive him for a lapse. |

Havertz. 8 goals and 5 assists in his last 11 games. It’s fair to say he’s settled in the team now! |
