REVEALED: What made Unai Emery’s substitution so effective against Spurs

Due to Arsenal head coach Unai Emery’s a few tricks the Gunners could beat Tottenham 4-2 in north London derby. The game was changed after Emery’s use of Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette. Match of the Day 2 pundit Alan Shearer was full of praise for how the Spaniard used his options off the bench with the pair coming on in the second half. Shearer hailed Emery's decision to replace Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a masterstroke that won the day for Arsenal. "He did it brilliantly today," said the former England captain. "At half-time, Iwobi and Mkhitaryan were ineffective in the first half. "He brought Ramsey and Lacazette on and what these two players did was make the pitch bigger, stretched Tottenham out and played Ramsey in the No. 10 role. "They invited him to run in behind, get in between the centre-halves Juan Foyth and Jan Vertonghen, and he did that all the second half." The Gunners have seen their reinforcements come to assist or score 15 goals so far. Chelsea are their nearest rivals with 11 followed by Leicester City with six and Everton and Liverpool on five.
