What was it that Alexandre Lacazette screamed down the lens of the television camera, after his winning goal on Sunday? Nothing too triumphalist, one hopes. Lacazette had, after all, benefitted from an utterly woeful passage of play that somehow came to separate these teams.
Not unjustly, though. The best team, and by some distance, won. Arsenal were brave, Tottenham hugely disappointing given the ground they need to make on the top four. They ended the game with ten men, Erik Lamela sent-off, so even the perpetrator of the most marvellous piece of play in the game didn’t ended in credit.
