Star man must be axed: Three things learned about Tottenham in defeat v Arsenal
Defensive disaster
While Spurs were lacking offensively, this game was lost at the back.

As for Alexis Sanchez’s strike, it was just unacceptable from Pochettino’s point of view, and it can be guaranteed there were some firm words said in the dressing room at half time.
