Tottenham Hotspur may have only beaten Arsenal 1-0 but the scoreline wasn’t an accurate representation about how the game panned out at Wembley Stadium.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side could have scored four or five if not for an exceptional performance between the sticks from Petr Cech.
Arsenal’s No.1 recorded six saves and had a WhoScored rating of 8.15, telling you everything you need to know about how the match was played.
Harry Kane scored the only goal as Tottenham emphasised the point that many football fans now believe about the north London rivalry: Spurs, after many years in Arsenal’s shadow, are the better team.
The Gunners just weren’t at the races and their showing can be summed up by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s miserable stats.
The £56 million signing failed to have a single shot on Tottenham’s goal and managed just 23 touches of the ball, the fewest amount of any of the 22 players who started the match, per WhoScored.
Aubamayeng was looking to follow in the footsteps of Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, all of whom scored on their north London derby debuts, but he didn’t even come close.
Rapper AJ Tracey trolls Aubameyang
He must now deal with being ridiculed by Tottenham fans.
Among the most high-profile Tottenham supporters to troll Aubameyang is rapper AJ Tracey.
The British artist posted a photo of himself with the Gabon international, writing: “met a fan today who told me he wants to be a striker! keep practising and one day you might get there lad!”
Ouch.
In case it gets deleted...
AJ Tracey has rapped about Aubameyang
Funnily enough, AJ Tracey has actually included Aubameyang’s name in one of his singles.
What Arsene Wenger said at full-time
Arsene Wenger believes his team should have equalised in the final moments, with Alexandre Lacazette missing two good opportunities to score, but he ultimately admitted that Kane was the difference.
“Once they scored you could see we were wobbling and they could have scored more but in the last 10 minutes we should have come back to 1-1,” the Arsenal boss said.
“The first goal was key and we conceded it. Kane made the difference, that’s what he’s about. I have seen the replay, it is no foul, just good centre-forward play. We can only look at ourselves.
“It will be more difficult to finish in the top four but we have to fight for it."
