A beautiful game has been destroyed, rages Arteta

‘The red card for me was clear. If we want to complain we could do it every game. This is my advice. If he wants to take my advice it’s up to him. I don’t care. In six months I have listened to him complaining a lot. It’s not good.’ This game was postponed from earlier in the year at Arsenal’s request and Conte added: ‘They had the game postponed because of Covid and they only had one player with Covid. I haven’t forgotten that. I could complain about playing our next game at 12 o’clock on Sunday when Arsenal play on Monday night. They have more rest.’ Kane gave Spurs the lead from the penalty awarded in the 22nd minute and scored again seven minutes after the sending off. The first half saw a running battle between Son and Holding, and the Spurs forward said of the red card: ‘I was running into space, but he just blocked the run. Even if the ball isn’t coming, it’s a dangerous challenge. ‘We have VAR so if there was no yellow card, then probably VAR would check it. For me it was a clear foul and a clear yellw card.’ Fourth place is still in Arsenal’s hands but if they drop points against either Newcastle or Everton then Tottenham — who host Burnley on Sunday and go to Norwich on the final day — could snatch the final Champions League spot.
