Spurs legend names three players who were actually good against Arsenal – Not Son

Graham Roberts has named three Tottenham players who he believed actually did well during the North London Derby defeat to Arsenal. 

Spurs suffered their third straight defeat in the Premier League as they were blown away 3-1 by the Gunners. 

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side found themselves 3-0 down within 35 minutes at the Emirates, courtesy of goals from Emile Smith-Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

Spurs did manage to somewhat improve in the second period and notched what was only a conciliation from Heung-min Son, but the game was all but over at half-time. 

Former Spurs man Roberts gave his verdict on what was yet another poor showing in the Premier League and took to Twitter to name just three players who could leave the derby defeat with their heads held high.  

Son was actually not included, but substitutes Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil, alongside captain Hugo Lloris, were the only ones singled out as positives.

It was another bad day at the office for Nuno, which is becoming a bit too frequent for the liking of plenty of fans. Skipp and Gil did look good coming off the bench and will have made their case to secure starting roles next weekend, in a defining fixture against Aston Villa.
