Tottenham 0-1 Arsenal: Which Spurs star 'didn't deserve to lose'?

SAMI MOKBEL AND ISAAN KHAN AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Arsenal went second with the win, while Tottenham remain in the bottom half after a difficult start to the campaign.

The defender - who was involved in the big flashpoint of the first half - speaks to BeIN Sports after a 1-0 away win.

The Tottenham boss has just spoken to BBC Match of the Day and here is what he had to say:

I thought it was a tight game all the way along. we controlled it for the most part and got off to a good start. We didn't capitalise on the opportunities and we were unable to get on top of them.

We lost concentration [for the goal]. We've got some big guys in there who really attack the ball and we just switched off for a second.

I think I've said my piece. For the most part we controlled the game today, had good territory and possession but we didn't make the most of it and we got punished.

Final words from Arteta to Sky Sports

It's a real compliment to the team. Any player in any area of the pitch is ready to do what a lot of people call 'the ugly things' and they enjoy to do that part of the game. Then you start to be a complete team to win in any context.

I'm delighted, because the team over a season has to go over a lot of hurdles. It was difficult because we have lost a lot of important players for us. Those who waited for the chance trained and behaved in the right manner. This is the result.

We want to play a different game, especially without the ball in different areas of the pitch, but they have a difficult structure to match up against. We were exposed.

It's not putting pressure on the goalkeeper, it's heading the ball, it's what we've done. Creating the right timings to score the goals.

The winning manager has had plenty to say to Sky Sports so let's work our way through it...

The resilience that we showed. We knew it would be a tough match and that made it easier. They create an unbelievable atmosphere. We should have done more in the first half, but we knew we were a bit threat on set plays and we knew we could hurt them.

"We weren't our best with the ball today, we did a lot of simple things wrong that didn't allow us to have that continuity. They jump and press every single ball which makes it difficult. The way we defended was so strong.

Studio debate about whether Arsenal's goal should have stood... what do you think?

Arsenal's experienced midfielder spoke to Sky Sports a moment ago to reflect on today's crucial win:

We had to work really hard. But we knew it would be a difficult game. In these days you have to work really hard, you have to count on your team-mates, one where we stick together.

We know we can count on each other. Now we have players who are missing but we have a total team, we know whoever is going to come on will be ready to help. As you saw today, everyone was ready. We are proud and happy for the team.

Home away from home for Mikel Arteta and his players it seems.

An absolute juggernaut, this lot.

Title favourites? What do you think?

Neville told Sky Sports: 'Really impressive day for Arsenal. 1-0 to the Arsenal was the song that used to be sung. But to be defensively solid and not be the same in attack and navigate a victory, it's really impressive. It wasn't pretty from Mikel Arteta but he got the job done.'
