Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal Kane scored second goal while midfielder limped off
Mikel Arteta has revealed how he tried to push Thomas Partey back on to the pitch as Arsenal conceded their second goal to Tottenham on Sunday.
During a Spurs counter-attack, which ended with Harry Kane finding the net, Thomas was seen hobbling to the edge of the pitch with an injury.
“It was too quick. We were through and I think it was a four against three situation for us to play the final ball and we were through,” Arteta explained after the game.
“Suddenly, they are coming to attack us and Thomas is walking to me and I was trying to push him.
“I haven’t spoken to him so I don’t know exactly how it happened or if he felt something really serious. I will look at it and we will talk about it.”
The midfielder has spent the last month or so out of action for his new club because of an injury suffered against Aston Villa in November. He was taken off immediately after Kane’s goal on Sunday.
