Arsenal carried on with their winning run in the Premier League today when they locked tight horns with Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Gunners had an impressive performance in the match as they condemned Tottenham to a narrow 3-2 defeat. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's unfortunate own goal with goals from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz helped Arsenal secure all three vital points from this encounter against Spurs.
In this article, I will be sharing two things that shouldn't be overlooked despite Arsenal's narrow win in this encounter against Tottenham. Let's take a look.
1, David Raya Isn't Good Enough.
Some fans might be in disagreement with this claim of mine but I believe David Raya isn't good enough to constantly mount the goal-post for Arsenal. In this encounter, David Raya brought Tottenham's hopes back alive by committing a careless defensive blunder which gave Cristian Romero an open opportunity to score a goal in the match. The Spanish International is quite vulnerable when under pressure from the opposition's attackers and he also barely makes mind-blowing saves for the Gunners.
2, Takehiro Tomiyasu Has Declined In His Main Strength As A Full-Back.
As a full-back, Takehiro Tomiyasu was once known for being reliable defensively even though his offensive contributions weren't good enough. Recently, Takehiro Tomiyasu looks to have declined in his main strength as a full-back which centres on helping the team's performance defensively. In this match, his position was greatly exploited by Tottenham as he struggled to hold his own in defense for the Gunners.
