Definitely yellow. I wouldn't have sent him off and if it happened to us, I'd be angry, but I'll take it anyway.

Keep the ball. It wouldn’t be the worst idea to advise either Xhaka or Zinchenko to stay a bit deeper. Or Tierney to come on and just hold things secure

Either that. Or go forward and go 3-1 up.

Now that we have advantage, twist the knife and kill the game off.

Looks absolutely nailed on red. Unarguable I would have thought.

Nasty and dangerous.

I'd say it's arguable but I don't care enough to argue!

The commentator "Bukayo Saka, he's so full of mischief" You guys on average have far better commentators.

Gabriel has to stay cool. Kane will try to incite him.

Might be a good idea to get Eddie on for Jesus with him on 4 yellows. Need him for Anfield.

Yeah, I know we are up by 2 goals and a man advantage but I'd like to see the substitutions a wee bit later. They pull a goal back luckily it could get dicey.

The red card is one that often doesn’t get given but it is studs over the top of the ankle. It’s sometimes an unlucky tackle because a very slight mistimed effort and you can end up doing a tackle like that but it is dangerous even if it wasn’t the intention. It’s rare they get given for us but it’s about bloody time!

Come on Rich, let’s hear you say it! The ref did well.

Don't understand Conte taking off Son. Sure, the game is as good as gone at 3-1 and playing with ten men, but Son and Kane have turned games around on their own before. Now they're just sitting back and don't even have a counter attacking threat left.

They’ve given up.

Xhaka would have scored from there.

In the build up to the game I saw a number of combined NLD 11 from journos, so no bias and so many had Holjberg instead of Partey. I know we’re bias but that is frankly bonkers. I’d have Xhaka ahead of Holjberg as well - easily

It was my attempt at trying to be balanced. I just think I’ve seen a lot of tackles like that and they don’t always end up in a red and I think there would be plenty of people who think a yellow is enough.
Of course I’ll take it, and yes I think Taylor has had a good game. I said before the game I do rate him along with Michael Oliver as the best two refs in the league by some distance

Brilliant, brilliant win. They looked dangerous on the counter in that first half, but second half they had absolutely nothing even before the red card. 65% possession, 22-7 in shots, 8-3 in shots on goal. We were simply the dominant team over 90 minutes and thoroughly deserved the win.

Whatever happens in all the other games this weekend, we'll finish it top of the league.

Great win!

I was a little worried at halftime with the counter-attacks Spuds were having but we came out second half and dominated again. Obviously, the sending off helped but we were by far the better footballing team.

Everyone was great.

That’s why you buy in to what Arteta wants to do, he set the bar absurdly high because he’s trying to build a team who can dominate every single game - it’s what virtually every title winning team does. Conte’s 5 man defence with 2 holding mids is going to win games but you can’t keep playing like they do and getting away with it. They have very little creativity, all the metrics on how they play shows they rely so heavily on world class forwards scoring from very few chances and also rely on making zero mistakes at the back. I still maintain it isn’t sustainable.

Compare the two teams on technical ability and it is chalk and cheese.

If you handed out Arsenal’s player of the season so far this season you’d be hard pushed to look past Xhaka. He’s pushed new levels in his game that I’ll be honest I didn’t think he had.

Absolutely love this team right now

Case in point, this was van Dijk v Everton and no red was given.

Pundits and Conte I’m sure will say the red card was the turning point or decided the game but forget that, we’d been utterly dominant and were 2-1 up and looked far more likely to score next. For the 20 minutes after half time but before the red Spurs offered nothing. A farce to claim that it somehow decided the game. It made it easier for us to win for sure but didn’t decide the game.

I haven’t heard anybody say that. Not the pundits on BT Sport, and not Conte.

It was nice for me to watch a game out without counting down the clock. Very relaxed finish.

I am torn. I want to see Man Utd lose but also want City to have their first loss. I'll take a draw I guess.

As someone who thinks the red card was slightly harsh, I'd find it very difficult to go on TV and complain about such an obvious stamp. I'm sure some of them will try though, as you point out.

Lovely feeling to stick it to Spurs. Really going to be able to enjoy the rest of the weekends football now. Like you Rich, love this team right now.
