🔥🏟️Arsenal fans noticed Ben White moment with James Maddison during wild Gabriel goal celebrations

Hotspur Stadium.

 

Gabriel scored the only goal of the game in the second half, powering his header beyond Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from a corner on 68 minutes.

 

The match was a bad-tempered encounter, with seven yellow cards alone being handed out by referee Jarred Gillett in the first half.

 

That equalled a Premier League record, with five Spurs players – including goalkeeper Vicario – going into the book in the opening 45 minutes.

 

There was trouble in the second half, but Arsenal fans spotted a notable moment between White and Maddison during their side’s goal celebrations.

 

As Gabriel’s header went in, White turned around and celebrated with his fists clenched – right in front of Maddison.

 

He then turned away and ran to celebrate with the rest of his team-mates.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have won just one of their opening four games, collecting four points.

 

They currently sit in 13th place in the Premier League table – already six points behind their north London rivals.

 

Earlier in the week, Maddison was criticised by Spurs legend Rafael van der Vaart for his lack of impact so far this season.

 

Van der Vaart told BetMGM (via Goal): “He’s just a player who I will come to the stadium for because I really like him.

 

“But to make an even bigger impact than that, really that passion and that killer mentality that needs to be there. Maybe I’m wrong.

 

“There are too many games where I’ve thought, ‘Okay, he can do more’, because he is good, he scores and he had a big impact on the team.

 

“That’s my feeling when I see him play.”

He was then substituted after treatment.It was another injury scare for Arsenal after captain Martin Odegaard missed the game through a hamstring problem suffered on international duty with Norway.Arteta was asked about the situation in his post-match interview – and in an answer that will cause a nervous wait for Arsenal fans, the Spaniard admitted that he did not know exactly what Saka had done.He said: “I don’t know [the extent of the problem]. I made two changes with the front players, and suddenly he’s down.”I looked at the bench and the options that we had and we had to adapt.”Arteta continued: “I don’t know exactly what it is, but he could not continue.”Saka will now be assessed by Arsenal’s medical staff as they attempt to diagnose the seriousness of the problem.Bukayo Saka was taken off during Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Spurs -GettyHis injury, if serious, would take some of the gloss off another fine away performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.Arsenal remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season, with their only dropped points arriving in the 1-1 draw against Brighton last month.That game saw Declan Rice controversially shown a second yellow card for delaying the restart, and the midfielder therefore missed the Spurs clash through suspension.The Premier League could not overturn his red card, as he received two yellow cards. But the league’s Key Match Incidents panel unanimously decided that referee Kavanagh was right to send him off regardless.The panel determined Rice’s actions to be ‘clear, deliberate and impactful’, and stated: “Rice knows what he’s doing – it’s a gentle touch, but once the referee sees it, he has no choice [but to give him a second yellow card].”
