Arsenal suffered a 2-0 loss to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Two quick counter attacking goals from the most inform duo in the Premier League \u2013 Harry Kane and Heung Min Son secured the victory for Jose Mourinho\u2019s side. Spurs soaked up all the pressure in the second half and did not even manage a shot on target but completely nullified Arsenal\u2019s attack and got the job done.<\/p>\n
A win meant Spurs are currently 1st in the Premier League whereas Arsenal lie in a very grim situation, sitting 15th in the league.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher had his say on Arsenal\u2019s performance, citing it \u201cnaive\u201d and \u201cawful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Carragher said, \u201cArsenal did not play well. Arsenal were awful, defensively and with the ball, from minute one. This idea that because you have possession, you\u2019ve played well \u2013 I\u2019m flabbergasted when I hear it.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThey never had one chance in the game where someone should have scored. I\u2019ve just seen a Mourinho quote saying possession is for the poets or the philosophers. He\u2019s absolutely spot-on if there\u2019s nothing with the possession.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI thought tactically, Arsenal were a shambles, so poor,\u201d<\/strong> added Carragher.<\/p>\n Tottenham travel away to Crystal Palace on Sunday whereas Arsenal host 18th placed Burnley at the Emirates on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arsenal suffered a 2-0 loss to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
