Why Son was unhappy, how Conte celebrated Kane goals - 5 things spotted in Tottenham vs Arsenal

Tottenham were handed a major blow ahead of kick-off following the news that Cristian Romero had missed out on the matchday squad. Playing a pivotal role in the team's fine form since the end of February after his return from a hamstring issue, the Argentina international was not included against Arsenal due to a hip injury.

The player had in fact sustained the problem last time out against Liverpool, with Antonio Conte confirming that Romero took a hit at Anfield and hadn't recovered in sufficient time. Davinson Sanchez came into the side as a result, partnering Eric Dier and Ben Davies in the backline.

A huge miss for Spurs in such a crucial game after some towering performances of late, fans did have their concerns given the change with Sanchez going into the game having not started for the Lilywhites since February. Despite a nervy ten minutes or so from the team, they really shouldn't have worried with the Colombian playing his part in a huge win in the top-four race.

Needing to make a fast start against their rivals and lay down an early marker, it was Arsenal who actually started the better of the two teams in the derby. The Gunners had plenty of the ball in dangerous areas in the first few minutes and Spurs just couldn't get out of their own half.

Even when Spurs did have the ball they couldn't get it forward and instead just passed across their own box and didn't progress up the pitch with it. Their failure to make any progress resulted in the fans showing their frustration as a few groans could be heard around the stadium.
